[Verse 1] I got my head but my head is unraveling Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling I got my heart but my heart's no good And you're the only one that's understood I come along but I don't know where you're taking me I shouldn't go but you're wrenching, dragging, shaking me Turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky The more I give to you the more I die [Pre-Chorus] And I want you And I want you And I want you And I want you [Chorus] You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug [Verse 2] You make me hard when I'm all soft inside I see the truth when I'm all stupid-eyed Your arrow goes straight through my heart Without you everything just falls apart My blood wants to say hello to you My fears want to get inside of you My soul is so afraid to realize (How very little there is left of me) [Pre-Chorus] And I want you And I want you And I want you And I want you [Chorus] You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug [Outro] Take me with you Take me with you Take me with you Take me with you (Take me with you) Without you Without you everything falls apart (Take me with you) Without you It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces (Take me with you) Without you Without you everything falls apart (Take me with you) Without you It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces (Take me with you) It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces (Take me with you) It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces Without you Without you everything falls apart Without you It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
