42 Contributors MakeDamnSure Lyrics The first single from the band’s third album, Louder Now, and also their most successful commercially to date. The song describes the ugly side of a relationship. [Verse 1] You've got this new head filled up with smoke And I've got my veins all tangled close To those jukebox bars you frequent The safest place to hide A long night spent with your most obvious weakness, you start shaking at the thought You are everything I want 'Cause you are everything I'm not [Pre-Chorus] And we lay, we lay together Just not too close, too close (How close is close enough?) And we lay, we lay together Just not too close, too close [Chorus] I just wanna break you down so badly Well I trip over everything you say I just wanna break you down so badly In the worst way [Verse 2] My inarticulate store-bought hangover hobby kit it talks And it says "You, oh, you are so cool" Scissor-shaped across the bed You are red, violent red You hollow out my hungry eyes You hollow out my hungry eyes [Pre-Chorus] And we lay, we lay together Just not too close, too close (How close is close enough?) And we lay, we lay together Just not too close, too close [Chorus] I just wanna break you down so badly Well I trip over everything you say I just wanna break you down so badly In the worst way I just wanna break you down so badly Well I trip over everything you say I just wanna break you down so badly In the worst way Worst way [Bridge] I'm gonna make damn sure That you can't ever leave No, you won't ever get too far from me You won't ever get too far from me I'll make damn sure That you can't ever leave No, you won't ever get too far from me You won't ever get too far from me You won't ever get too far from me (Ever get too far) You won't ever get too far [Chorus] I just wanna break you down so badly Well I trip over everything you say Well I just wanna break you down so badly In the worst way Worst way [Outro] I'm gonna make damn sure I just wanna break you down so badly I just wanna break you down so badly (Down so) In the worst way Worst way
