Make Up Your Mind Lyrics
I never thought I'd be a killer
'Cause there's so much to lose
But if I can't drink the water
What else can I do?
And although the axe is heavy
It just sits in my hand
While you're changing like the current
Not a shore on land
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Make up your mind
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
I never thought that I's be facing
A sea that's bluer than the tide
Now my knees are shaking
And I can't look in your eyes
But if you're gonna make me do it
How'd you want it done?
Is it best to sip it slowly
Or drink it down in one?
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Make up your mind
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
The executioner's within me
And he comes, blindfold ready
Sword in hand
And arms so steady
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
But every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Make up your mind
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
Make up your mind
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
'Cause there's so much to lose
But if I can't drink the water
What else can I do?
It just sits in my hand
While you're changing like the current
Not a shore on land
You always turn my hand around
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
A sea that's bluer than the tide
Now my knees are shaking
And I can't look in your eyes
How'd you want it done?
Is it best to sip it slowly
Or drink it down in one?
You always turn my hand around
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
And he comes, blindfold ready
Sword in hand
And arms so steady
Every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
But every time I try to bring it down
You always turn my hand around
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
Let me leave or let me love you
While you've been saving you neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up you mind
Before I make it up for you
"Let me leave or let me love you".
The singer is trying to end a relationship, but every time they come close, the other person does something to make them change their mind. But whatever it is that they do, the singer still longs for more from them.
"While you've been saving you neck I've been breaking mine for you"
She is trying her hardest to save their relationship but the other person is going to have to do something soon or else she'll leave.
"Make up you mind Before I make it up for you."
The other person needs to truly decide to be with her--to fully commit. Or else she'll have to end the relationship b/c she's at the end of her rope with it.
Great song!
