ʙᴜᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀs
i don't need anything more than you can give.
really, truly,
i'm taking your clothes off.
i'm washing the rosy cheeks
off of your face, love
i'm turning your brightness down
and putting the ocean back
where it belongs
for you had no right to steal it
though you do look damn good
to this song
i'm taking your clothes off.
draining your ichor,
and painting your blood red
and killing you softly
so that you can come back
as the boy i once knew
when you were somebody's baby
and i was a fool.
i'm crying my eyes out
just trying to reach you
cause i want you, need you
to understand that
it's not just your body,
nor is it simply your eyes or smile
i'm taking your clothes off
and i'm peeling my own off
and we're watching the sunset
while we speak of our daydreams
and we hope for the right things
but fight for the wrong things
i'm hoping you'll love me
you're hoping you'll make it
i'm fighting for peace and
you're fighting is faithless.
