If I Told You

Come on over if you're lonely

With a pillow for a head and a scorpion in your bed

I am the only choice you have tonight

I will receive you with such gladness

There's no need to be afraid

You can keep your suspicion with my madness

You will find me hiding myself to keep it like this

What if I told you that I love you?

Would it alter the air we breathe?

If I whisper that I need you?

Would it make you stop needing me?

If I told you that I want you

In my every sleep you come and make my waking dreams come true

I think you would run

You would run

You would run

You would run

So let's keep it as it is, babe

Come over, have a smoke and be yourself

While I cloak the noise my heart makes

It's deafening to me

My arms will open for your sorrows

My legs will stay where they are

Twitch, twitch, twitching for tomorrows

When they could hold you for one night before you let me go

So I shouldn't tell you that I love you

Shouldn't alter the air we breathe

Shouldn't whisper that I need you

Cause I need you to need me

Shouldn't tell you that I want you

In my every sleep you come

And make my waking dreams come true

I think you would run

You would run

You would run

You would run

When I smell your skin, my body knows the lie it's in

But it can't help but want it to be true

I'll keep the treasure from your face

Your every line that I can trace to get me through

If I told you that I love you

Would it alter the air we breathe?

If I whisper that I need you

Would it make you stop needing me

If I told you that I want you

In my every sleep you come and make my waking dreams come true

I think you would run

If it alters the air we breathe

If I told you that I love you

If I told you

You would run

So come on over if you're lonely

Come on over if you're lonely

Come on over if you're lonely
