Periwinkle Sunshine Video (MV)

If I told you that you had beautiful eyes
Would you gouge them out with a spoon
Just to prove me wrong
Just to push me away

If I told you that you had kissable lips
Would you shave them off in the bath
With your Lady Bic

You've gotta remember
To be realistic
When you're trying to let me
Down easy, baby
Self mutilation
To dissuade attention
Is only hurting yourself

If I mentioned that I liked talking
To you
Would you sharpen a q-tip
And puncture both ear drums

If I whispered that
I want to hold your hand
Would you chop both off at the wrists
So I couldn't hold on to you

Cuz
You've gotta remember
To be realistic
When you're trying to let me
Down easy, baby
Self mutilation
As a passive aggressive act
Is only hurting yourself

If you think that I am
Only concerned
With the superficial
You've got so much to learn
About obsession and love
The connection of souls
That takes place somewhere
That's much deeper inside

If I let slip
That I want to
Win your heart
Would you cease its
Rhythmic beat
So I'd have to
Let you go
