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 make 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 your self 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 want to fight
Will you be held?
Will you be touched?
By my hand through this paper
Is 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 pain
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(×2)
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 cant resist and I don't want to fight
Dim the lights give me everything, I want
Just talk to me like you do in your songs
Your letters are drawing on me from above
I know who you are and i know you are loved
