[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
She was the queen of silver linings
Now she is the one who lives with ghosts

[Chorus]
Spinning out of control, hoping this heartache will end
Trying hard to let go, she's tired, she's empty again

[Post-Chorus]
She says, "Wind me up
Wind me up"

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
She was the queen of silver linings
Now she is the one who lives with ghosts
[Chorus]
Spinning out of control, hoping this heartache will end
Trying hard to let go, she's tired, she's empty again

[Post-Chorus]
She says, "Wind me up
Wind me up, wind me up"

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

[Chorus]
Spinning out of control, hoping this heartache will end
Trying hard to let go, she's tired, she's empty again

[Post-Chorus]
She says, "Wind me up
Wind me up, wind me up
Wind me up, wind me up
Wind me up, wind me up"
