lyrics

I know I’m imprecise
But will I suffice?
Could I suffice?
Will you make that sacrifice?
I’m asking nice
But I’m asking twice

You look so lovely there
With your shoulders bare
And your flowing hair
You’re nearly unaware
That I’m ensnared
That you impair me

You carved your name into my back into my back into my
We cloaked the room in solid black in solid black to our eyes
The music swelled under your voice, under your voice when you sighed
You heard me echo to rejoice to rejoice in reply

You feel like poetry
But reality
I am nobody
You’re taking hold of me
You are symmetry
You are LSD

I’m hanging off your lips
And your fingertips
My hands on your hips
I’m devoid of showmanship
On your acid trip
I am unequipped

You carved your name into my back into my back into my
We cloaked the room in solid black in solid black to our eyes
The music swelled under your voice, under your voice when you sighed
You heard me echo to rejoice to rejoice in reply

You look like déjà vu
And Fifth Avenue
I look overdue
I’m falling back to you
With my hair askew
You are residue

You carved your name into my back into my back into my
We cloaked the room in solid black in solid black to our eyes
The music swelled under your voice, under your voice when you sighed
You heard me echo to rejoice to rejoice in reply
