lyrics

They gave me something at nineteen to bring the volume down
And it worked, I got so easy, I was easy for four years
I didn't write a single word while I was easy in that town
And everybody told me I was doing well through their own ears

You want me at about forty percent
You want the girl who says she's fine and means it

You want forty percent of me and you can't have it any more
I'm the whole hundred, I'm the noise, I'm the thing behind the door
You asked me what was under it, well, here, take all of it
This is the actual volume and I'm not turning down a bit

My sister said I'm harder now, she said it like a wound
And I haven't called her back since February afternoon

You want forty percent of me and you can't have it any more
I'm the whole hundred, I'm the noise, I'm the thing behind the door
You asked me what was under it, well, here, take all of it
This is the actual volume and I'm not turning down a bit

Not turning down a bit.
