Your face crept into that space
Between my reflex and my resolve
Kind of like the crevice
You don't notice
'Til it
Takes down the damn wall
Now we're sitting in the window
Your forehead is red-hot
And touching my knee
And I am checking my pulse
Making sure it doesn't quit on me
And I'm sorry if you're thinking
That I
Knew what I was doing
I guess what I do best is look like
I am in control
But tonight
Tonight I am a soft and untamed thing
And I will wrap my breath around you
Until your exhale comes clean
I am checking my pulse
Yeah checking my pulse
(checking my pulse)
(checking my pulse, yeah)
And you were the buried penny
At the bottom of the pool
So I guess
I guess that makes me the
Fool diving deep for you
I'll stick you in my pocket
All shiny all precious and all
Not mine
A hidden forbidden treasure
Baby you're the worst kind
And hidden beneath the water
All things loom larger
So I'm searching for your edges
To fish you up ship you up
Out of the water
And you are that sweet wish
That she's thrown
I would've caught you in the air girl
Had I known, yeah
And now the space between these bodies
Surpasses the sum of it's parts
And I'm crawling in between these moments
Bouncing words hoping I don't get stuck
And I was thinking 'distraction'
And now I'm thinking distractions a relative thing
Because I was casually splashing
Now I'm a casualty sinking
Yeah I am checking my pulse
(checking my pulse)
Yeah checking my pulse
(checking my pulse)
And in hot water
My brain just kinda puckers up
And I'm drowning jaws wide open now
Because my mouth it just won't seem to shut
And you might just be a shiny thing
But you are the shiny thing I am pursuing
And when I said
You talk too much
It was 'cus there was stuff I'd rather you'd a been doing
And then you take my breath
I need that, to get back to the top
But we're beautiful down here
You say
You know girl the world won't stop
