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
