Every Letter (Radio Edit)

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
