Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't you cherish me to sleep, oh
Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father's crib
[Verse 2]
Hair, old, long along
Your neck onto your shoulder blades, oh
Always keep that message taped
Cross your breasts you won't erase
I was only for your very space
[Verse 3]
Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one
Face 'way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies, haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss
[Verse 4]
Joy, it's all founded
Pincher with the skin inside, oh
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope's untied
I was only for to die beside
[Verse 5]
So, itʼs storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break
[Verse 6]
There's a fire going out
But there's really nothing to the south
[Verse 7]
Swollen orange and light let through
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you
[Verse 8]
Sold, I'm ever
Open ears and open eyes, oh
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
Oh, the demons come, they can subside
