I'll lay it out for you if I am able
It's more complicated than I could invent
It takes a knowledge of the periodic table
And I am miles out of my element

But it's all my fault
For making something bound to be volatile
Shake it up, shake it up, grab it
It's all my fault
For always trying to break a molecule
Instead of this habit

I know this isn't love
What was I thinking
But I have not been drinking
So it must be chemical
I need the antidote
For what you slipped me
My heart is tripping
So it must be chemical

I've got my finger on this lithium illusion
And i'm refusing to participate
I was blinded by a different kind of fusion
Now i'm starting to hallucinate

But it's all my fault
For always trying to mix my metaphors
Haven't we been through this
It's all my fault
For swearing that we'd both be better off for it
Under the influence

I know this isn't love
What was I thinking
But I have not been drinking
So it must be chemical
I need the antidote
For what you slipped me
My heart is tripping
So it must be chemical

I'm in the market for a seed of what i'm taking
I want to grow it in my backyard
The high is good so long as everyone is faking
It's in the morning when you come down hard

It's all my fault
For dabbling alone in chemistry
Thought it was easy
And it's all my fault
For believing that you're little mystery drug
Could please me

I know this isn't love
What was I thinking
But I have not been drinking
So it must be chemical
I need the antidote
For what you slipped me
My heart is tripping
So it must be chemical
