She crawled into my ear

Like a tapeworm, telling me things I wanna hear

The words escaped her mouth

With everything I should've been

And are you all alone?

And I could be a scar, hold me at your heart

Eat it all apart, I could be your own desire

And even when you're done, tell me I'm the sun

Baby, let me take you higher

Baby, let me take you higher

Her lips were close to mine

Oh, tell me that you wanted me

Our breaths taken in time

Your silhouetted skin

Oh, tell me that you promise me to never say a thing

And I could be a scar, hold me at your heart

Eat it all apart, I could be your one desire

And even when we're done, tell me I'm the sun

Baby, let me take you higher

And I could be a scar, hold me at your heart

I could be your one desire

And even when we're done, tell me I'm the sun

Baby, let me take you higher

The dust on your windowsill

It's cracked with an evening chill

The red from the wine you spill

That stains like your midnight kill

The bleach wouldn't wash it out

This feeling of subtle doubt

It's something that I live with now

I could be a scar, hold me at your heart

Eat it all apart, I could be your one desire

And even when we're done, tell me I'm the sun

Baby, let me take you higher

And I could be a scar, hold me at your heart

I could be your one desire

And even when we're done, tell me I'm the sun

Baby, let me take you higher

Baby, let me take you higher

Baby, let me take you higher

(I could be a star, hold me at your heart)

Oh, baby, let me take you higher

(Even when we're done, tell me I'm the sun)

She said, "Baby, let me take you higher"
