earworm

written by harry maynard


i get this ringing in my ear

tell me why you’re not as near as before

is it cause of the intercourse?

or because I keep on wanting more?

you’re out of sight but you’re not out of my mind

i see you in the dreams i receive at night

like this ringing in my ear you come back again

intrude into my head every now and then


i’d love for the affection to halt

if I’m a wound, you are my salt

if you have a heart, it is so cold

so cold, so cold


you’re stuck in my head like an earworm

a catchy song that I don’t wanna hear any more

and it’s because i got really bored

of listening on repeating now that i know it all

you’re out of sight but somehow still in my way

you cross my mind maybe once or twice or thrice a day

i cross my fingers and my heart, i’ll write a better song

i’ll get it in my head and sing it all night long


i’d love for the affection to halt

if I’m a wound, you are my salt

If you have a heart, it is so cold

so cold, so cold


i’d love for the affection to halt

if I’m a wound, you are my salt

if you have a heart, it is so cold

so cold, so cold


it’s hard to forget all that we did together

i’m feelin’ better after you left my heart a little sore

i don’t resent your presence but I remember flaws

the ringing’s getting a little easier to ignore


i’d love for the affection to halt

if I’m a wound, you are my salt

if you have a heart, it is so cold

so cold, so cold


i’d love for the affection to halt

if I’m a wound, you are my salt

if you have a heart, it is so cold

so cold, so cold
