Feels like a broken toy, waiting to be destroyed
Time keeps on creeping by, every hour
She's like a loaded gun, waits for the setting sun
Time keeps on slipping by, every hour

She was the queen of silver linings
Now she is the one who lives with ghosts

Spinning out of control, hoping this heartache will end
Trying hard to let go, she's tired, she's empty again
She says, wind me up

It's always a little while before she remembers
Why nobody's coming home, so there's no purpose
She lost him years ago, five years of vertigo
There's nothing left to give on the surface

She was the queen of silver linings
Now she is the one who lives with ghosts

Spinning out of control, hoping this heartache will end
Trying hard to let go, she's tired, she's empty again
She says, wind me up
Wind me up
Wind me up

Hurry up, you're running in circles
Just hurry up, time keeps on slipping
Just hurry up, there's no one but you here to save

Spinning out of control, hoping this heartache will end
Trying hard to let go, she's tired, she's empty again
She says, wind me up 
Wind me up
Wind me up
Wind me up
