Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd been carving you
To see what form you'd take
You were hiding in ivory
I just wanted to free your shape
[Verse 2]
Bringing me down
It's too quiet to breathe
Who wants to hear their heartbeat?
[Verse 3]
It's got to be here
In your spiderweb alphabets
Did I read it all wrong?
Have I just not gotten it yet?
[Verse 4]
You got what you want
You wanted release
Can you be appeased?
Can you bring it all back to me?
Bring it all back to me
[Verse 5]
Bringing me down
The obvious turns out to be true
And all that I couldn't see
How it was turning me on
[Verse 6]
Oh, I don't want to pare you down
Oh, I don't want to wear you down
I don't want any more than what's there
Oh, I don't want to pare you down
[Verse 7]
Well you got what you want
You wanted release
Can you be appeased?
Can you bring it all back to me?
Bring it all back to me
[Verse 8]
Just bring it all back to me
It's all that I want
It's all that I need
It's all that I want
[Verse 9]
Just bring it all back to me
Bring it
Give it
Bring it
