Piano keys dripping all over me on a penthouse roof
Guitar string tripping melodies
In anticipation I’m waiting
Feelin’ wasted and shameless for you
I only feel
In shades of you
I only feel
In waves of you
And you’re stronger than ever
Water’s falling from heaven into oceans of
Deep
Deep
Deep
Blue
There’s a slow motion wind
And I’m out on a limb
That’s breaking for you
Foggy breath to the song you’re playing
It’s dangerous behavior when I know I can’t save you
Frosty windows
Drawing pictures
That make no sense
I don’t understand the moves you’re making
Mistaking my talking for things I’m not saying
Tell me if you want me
I’ll tell you if I care
If you only think I’m pretty, then
Don’t start there
‘Cause that’s what they all say
When they’re trying to charm me
So tell me in a simile what I’m like and how I make you think
‘Cause you are a piano
And I am the sea
Speak to me in a language
I don’t know how to read
Don’t know how to read you
Only know how to feel you
Don’t know how to read you
And I don’t want to
