Lovely bones, I never wanna let you go,
I slump low into the hollowest of thrones,
If time heals woe, then I'm counting to a billion, slow,
Me and you I promise that I'll see you through.

Cause you always were a headstrong girl,
And all you wanted was the whole damn world.
You were a headstrong girl,
And all you wanted was the whole damn world.

Lovely bones, they tell you what you need to know,
When in Rome, you do exactly what you're told,
And God won't show, so you're counting to a billion, slow,
I dare you to promise something you can do.

Cause you always were a headstrong girl,
And all you wanted was the whole damn world.
You were a headstrong girl,
And all you wanted was the whole damn world,
You need a holiday, holiday, holiday baby,
And I'll shake your bones, show you things that you've never seen.

I dare you to sail a little closer to home.

Cause you always were a headstrong girl,
And all you wanted was the whole damn world.
You were a headstrong girl,
And all you wanted was the whole damn world,
You need a holiday, holiday, holiday baby,
And I'll shake your bones, show you things that you've never seen.
