seven storeys up

flickering fluorescence
cross-legged on the kitchen bench
you say you should probably go
but i know you don't wanna leave yet

following the feeling
i watch you as you breathe in
one last hot lap
don't go to sleep yet

and you stop me on the staircase
does it make your heart race?
does it make your blood rush
through your ribcage?
you can't make this shit up

hang your head over the railing
baby, now you're weightless
seven storeys up
from the balcony you say it
do you think this is love?

out the other side
stop and smell the lightning
can you blur your eyes
just enough to let the light in

metal in the sand
yeah i will take my chances
do you understand that this is just a fraction?
you can't make this shit up

climb up
the rooftop
light up
there's nothing wrong
don't try to explain it, explain it
i'll be waiting

climb up
the rooftop
light up
there's nothing wrong
don't try to explain it, explain it

hang your head over the railing
baby, now you're weightless
seven storeys up
from the balcony you say it
do you think this is love?
