lyrics

(breath fogging glass)
I do not miss you. Come over.
(come over, come over)

You left your shirt on my hotel floor
I wore it once, then wanted more
I don't like you — I like your mouth
My head stays north, my hands go south
(south, south)

Don't call it love, I'll call a cab
(call a cab)
Your heart's a coat I never grab

You're a warm knife — cut me kind
Warm knife — cold design
Warm knife — twist it twice
You're a warm knife and I'm the ice
(ice, ice, ice)

I drew your name in the window frost
Then licked it off — no love, no cost
You taste like smoke and bad ideas
Stay until the heat disappears
(disappears)

You're a warm knife — cut me kind
Warm knife — cold design
Warm knife — twist it twice
You're a warm knife and I'm the ice
(ice, ice, ice)

I sleep alone by choice, mostly
(mostly)
Undress the lie, then undress me

You're a warm knife — cut me kind
Warm knife — cold design
Warm knife — twist it twice
You're a warm knife and I'm the ice
(ice, ice, ice)

I do not miss you.
(come over... come over)
