FLOODGATES
I wrote you a letter
crumbled up that loose leaf paper
Never had the balls to send it off
but how would you reply?
Cause I don’t even know you
It’s been over a year and I feel like I’m supposed to
by now you think I would’ve learned
that I can’t help myself
Cause recently, I’ve been circling your name
on the back page of a magazine
If you could only see
If you could only see what’s on the inside
of my mind
A piece of me wants only you
to give me a sign
I can’t be trained to love another one
It’s your body disguised
A piece of me wants you to know
that I wish you were mine, honey
I’ll pull you underneath the waves
at the gate between you and I
Should I trade all my days
for a seldom spark?
(Setting your words on fire)
You should’ve warned me
you’re not for the faint of heart
(Don’t come any closer
)
Secretly, we’re a train wreck
So many ghosts that to count would be pointless
but
when we fuck
it’s explosive
Cover each other in flames
A piece of me wants only you
to give me a sign
I can’t be trained to love another one
It’s your body disguised
A piece of me wants you to know
that I wish you were mine, honey
I’ll pull you underneath the waves
at the gate between you and I
Oh
I’ll pull you from the water
(
reach out, reach out, reach out
)
Just a little but farther
(reach out, reach out, reach out
)
If not we'll both go under so
(reach out, reach out, reach out)
but you're holding on to another
(reach out, reach out, reach out)
A piece of me wants only you
to give me a sign
I can’t be trained to love another one
It’s your body disguised
A piece of me wants you to know
that I wish you were mine, honey
I’ll pull you underneath the waves
at the gate between you and I
No
