Lyrics and translation
Original
Here's how it started, you've got a God in the closet
They say, "He's peeking through the cracks in the door"
You've got a father and mother, are they in love with each other?
Or are they living afraid of the Lord?
Scratch my name in your truck
Tell me, have I disappointed you enough? Oh-oh
And I'm strange and I'm stuck
Wear my pretty little heart out on my cuff, hm-mm
I don't wanna die
In the body of somebody I'm not
I don't wanna die
Getting caught up with the cats and the dogs
Swallowing the party favors, kissing in the parking lot
Nervous when I talk to strangers
Just thinking
I don't wanna die
In the body-, in the body of somebody I'm not
2012, I think I'm hiding about
But it's eating at the depths of my soul
2015, two different versions of me
A boy in a bed, and a girl in a dream
Scratch my name in your truck
Tell me, have I disappointed you enough? Oh-oh
And I'm strange when I'm stuck
Wear my pretty little heart out on my cuff, hm-mm
(Oh-oh-oh)
I don't wanna die
In the body of somebody I'm not
I don't wanna die
Getting caught up with the cats and the dogs
Swallowing the party favors, kissing in the parking lot
Nervous when I talk to strangers
Just thinking
I don't wanna die
In the body-, in the body of somebody I'm not (yeah-yeah-yeah)
In the body of somebody I'm not
I don't wanna die
In the body of somebody I'm not
I don't wanna die
Getting caught up with the cats and the dogs
Swallowing the party favors, kissing in the parking lot
Nervous when I talk to strangers
Just thinking
I don't wanna die
In the body-, in the body of somebody I'm not
