Lyrics

She's a genius

There's a reason the knife still twists when she calls
There's a reason the sweetness is such an assault, yeah
No calendar expiration on how the stomach turns when you hear a song

She's a genius

She's a leaver, she's cracking and you want her still
Keep her locked in the back with your poems and pills
No distance long enough to snap these strings
No excuses, no falling apart when she sings

She's a genius
Maybe she's a genius, oh!

The melody cuts deep, watch that bird take wing
(leave it alone, can't you leave it alone?)
You stay rooted, you stand silent, you can't do a thing
(leave it alone, can't you leave it alone?)
I could leave it alone, but it's genius
She's a genius
Maybe she's a genius

There's a reason the knife still twists when she calls
