Beginner's Cuffs

It was rule number one
Back on that summer night when we first touched
We’re only having fun
This thing is not supposed to mean that much
But now the blindfold is falling
And something more than sweat is running down our cheeks
I may have wanted you crawling
I never meant to make your knees be quite so weak
We played together a few too many nights
We went and tied the knots a little too tight
We never wanted to fall in love, but I guess
That’s why they call them beginner’s cuffs
We seem so perfectly vanilla
Young clever independent people without much time
More «Human Nature» than «Thriller»
Til you say «yours» and I say «mine» and we both go and lose our minds
But now my engine is stalling
For once I don’t know just how tight I want you bound
There’s no next hand so I’m all in
No word is safe enough to stop us falling down, now
We played together a few too many nights
We went and tied the knots a little too tight
We never wanted to fall in love, but I guess
That’s why they call them beginner’s cuffs
We played together a few too many nights
We went and tied the knots a little too tight
We never wanted to fall in love, but I guess that’s why
That’s why they call them beginner’s cuffs
Oh yeah
