๐ Lyrics
The ink on the paper makes me nervous, I nearly lose my vision
And then my breath, and my pulse and my mind quickens
Head below my knees, I come alive with every stroke of every letter
In every line you write keeps me awake thinking back, oh
My first sight of you was my first heart attack
Every letter makes me lose my reason
Every word is like your kindest touch
And if I told you how much I need you
Would you give me yourself or turn and run?
You light up desire just by describing it
I read to myself until I go blind
Your words fall around me all through the night
I can't resist and I don't wanna fight
Will you be held, will you be touched
By my hand through this paper? This all too much
Will we be ravaged, will we be true
To somebody perfect, somebody like you?
I'm tired of yearning, I'm tired of learning
I need to drink you, my heart has been burning
Ever since I saw you backwards through the glass
Of a thin window pane, like a thin see through mask
These words are the truth, just let them sink in
Through your thin fingered gloves to your hand, to your skin
Like ribbon on wrists, let them hold you and twist
Let them touch you all over until you can't resist
Every letter makes me lose my reason
Every word is like your kindest touch
And if I told you how much I need you
Would you give me yourself or turn and run?
Would you give me yourself or turn and run?
You light up desire just by describing it
I read to myself until I go blind
Your words fall around me all through the night
I can't resist and I don't wanna fight
Dim the lights, give me everything I want
Just talk to me like you do in your songs
Your letters are drawings on me from above
I know who you are, and I know you are loved
And then my breath, and my pulse and my mind quickens
Head below my knees, I come alive with every stroke of every letter
In every line you write keeps me awake thinking back, oh
My first sight of you was my first heart attack
Every letter makes me lose my reason
Every word is like your kindest touch
And if I told you how much I need you
Would you give me yourself or turn and run?
You light up desire just by describing it
I read to myself until I go blind
Your words fall around me all through the night
I can't resist and I don't wanna fight
Will you be held, will you be touched
By my hand through this paper? This all too much
Will we be ravaged, will we be true
To somebody perfect, somebody like you?
I'm tired of yearning, I'm tired of learning
I need to drink you, my heart has been burning
Ever since I saw you backwards through the glass
Of a thin window pane, like a thin see through mask
These words are the truth, just let them sink in
Through your thin fingered gloves to your hand, to your skin
Like ribbon on wrists, let them hold you and twist
Let them touch you all over until you can't resist
Every letter makes me lose my reason
Every word is like your kindest touch
And if I told you how much I need you
Would you give me yourself or turn and run?
Would you give me yourself or turn and run?
You light up desire just by describing it
I read to myself until I go blind
Your words fall around me all through the night
I can't resist and I don't wanna fight
Dim the lights, give me everything I want
Just talk to me like you do in your songs
Your letters are drawings on me from above
I know who you are, and I know you are loved
