Nothing But You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sleepless cities dead
You came crashing in just like I knew you would
No more emptiness
Dot-to-dot the feelings that never existed
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm overdosin' over emotions
I know you know this, so can we skip to the good bit
Where you tie me down, make me a hostage in my house?
Yeah, I'm fine with blackin' out
If I wake up wearing nothin' but you
[Chorus]
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
And here's the combination to the safe in the closet
It's all yours if you say that you want it
Anything you need, you got
You can have it, keep the lot
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You, you, you, you)
[Verse 2]

Busy pillow talking 'til there's no words left
So go and fuck up my head
And I'll let you do it over and over and over and over again
Sleepless cities dead
You came crashing in just like I knew you would
No more emptiness
Dot-to-dot the feelings that never existed
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm overdosin' over emotions
I know you know this, so can we skip to the good bit
Where you tie me down, make me a hostage in my house?
Yeah, I'm fine with blackin' out
If I wake up wearing nothin' but you
[Chorus]
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
And here's the combination to the safe in the closet
It's all yours if you say that you want it
Anything you need, you got
You can have it, keep the lot
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You, you, you, you)

So go and fuck up my head
And I'll let you do it over and over and over and over again
[Pre-Chorus]
Over and o-o-overdosin' over emotions
I know it's hopeless, so can we skip to the moment
Where you tie me down, steal every piece of me you've found?
Yeah, I'm fine with blackin' out
If I wake up wearing nothin' but you
[Chorus]
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
And here's the combination to the safe in the closet
It's all yours if you say that you want it
Anything you need, you got
You can have it, keep the lot
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You, you, you, you)
[Bridge]
And maybe it's a flaw in me
'Cause, honestly, I'd let you do your worst
And all of the headaches aside
I'd let you do what you like as long as I
[Chorus]
(You, you)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car, and—
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you
Over and o-o-overdosin' over emotions
I know it's hopeless, so can we skip to the moment
Where you tie me down, steal every piece of me you've found?
Yeah, I'm fine with blackin' out
If I wake up wearing nothin' but you
[Chorus]
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
And here's the combination to the safe in the closet
It's all yours if you say that you want it
Anything you need, you got
You can have it, keep the lot
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You, you, you, you)
[Bridge]
And maybe it's a flaw in me
'Cause, honestly, I'd let you do your worst
And all of the headaches aside
I'd let you do what you like as long as I
[Chorus]
(You, you)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (You)
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car, and—
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you

Genius Answer
Brad:
I went in to finish something with Lostboy and then just started working on something and had kind of the beginning of the chorus, which is like, ‘Break into my new apartment and take the damn keys.’ Having a super rhythmic melody means that you don’t need to do that much because it carries through the song for us. And it’s fun. It’s just about giving your all to someone or giving someone everything and saying you can do as you wish, that feeling of falling in love and going like, ‘You can take from me everything that you want.’
