my favorite song right now, brand new - no seatbelt song. i can't narrow it down to a few lines, so here's the song.

So, it's sad this doesn't suit you now
And me fresh out of rope
Please ignore the lisp
I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me
And make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to
This and you
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck
And wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot
I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use
Broken and bruised
Do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
But how could I miscalculate
Perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose
it's only you
"We're wrecking"
And I'm dry like a drum
So fine I'll leave
We're spent
Take our time in trials
Measured in miles
And we slave for days
(And we)
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
But how could I miscalculate
Perfect lies from a perfect hate
If I can choose
It's only you
