lyrics

There's a stoat in my heart
She's been there all my life
She wants to run with hyenas
On a dark winter night

And I hide her away 'cause I don't want her to blow my cover

I keep her close to my chest
'Cause she's unruly as hell
She wants to say what I'm feeling
But she'll poison my well

She's a demon of chaos but you'll never find another

Let me play
I promise I'll be good
She can't stay
I love her but I don't know if anyone else could

She says
Run, let me run down the highway at night
Give me something to chase, give me someone to fight
You're stuck in the mud and you're trying to hide
But I know that you're dancing
You're dancing inside

I'm doing cold calculations
Like some corporate thrall
She wants to Kool-Aid man
Through the nearest brick wall

She's a strange contradiction holding light in her hands but I love her

I am calm and collected
While I'm working the grind
She's making off-color jokes
In the back of my mind

And if I took her off-leash I don't know if I'd ever recover

Let me play
I promise I'll be good
She can't stay
I love her but I don't know if anyone else could

Run, let me run down the highway at night
Give me something to chase, give me someone to fight
You're stuck in the mud and you're trying to hide
But I know that you're dancing
You're dancing inside

It's two in the morning and nobody's around
It's too cold for the crickets, no one's making a sound
Maybe it would be fine if I just let her out for a minute

Her smile's an infection spreading over my face
My skin's getting goosebumps as she's taking my place
And I might have regrets but it's too late to put a pin in it

Run, let me run down the highway at night
Give me something to chase, give me someone to fight
You're stuck in the mud and you're trying to hide
But I know that you're dancing
You're dancing inside
You're dancing inside
