Lyrics

You sit close
I don't move right
My shoulders lock
Like they know night
Your hand comes near
I feel the door
Half-open, waiting
For something more
I want your warmth
I want your face
But every soft step
Feels out of place
My breath goes thin
My chest goes tight
I say"come in"
And brace for flight
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
I want you close, but I flinch in the glow
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
You laugh too gently
I miss the sound
My heart mistakes it
For hands shutting down
A touch on my wrist
And the room goes bare
Like love could vanish
If I let it there
I lean in slow
Then pull back fast
Part of me begging
Not to relive the past
My breath goes thin
My chest goes tight
I say"come in"
And brace for flight
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
I want you close, but I flinch in the glow
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
Don't make me choose
Between love and alarm
My bones still remember
How mercy turned harm
If I shake, don't leave
If I lean, don't pull
I'm here, I'm here
I'm just not whole
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
I want you close, but I flinch in the glow
My mouth says stay, but my body says no
Come slow, come slow
Let my body know
Come slow, come slow
So my body can learn a new answer
