you’re so soft when you whisper my name
i'm so holy when you play these games
i think i am going backwards
i am free like the darkness that spills
around me when I’m lying still
you’re a statue through your stone
im so stuck on you
that i can’t breathe and i can’t move
and it feels good just to
stay in place
and you say my name
like the rain falls down
you never cry or make a sound
all i want from you
is quiet words
and safety now
all the dirt that we walk over
all the hurt we scream over
will disappear like smoke
i am like lit matches in the night
it feels like some type of magic when you’re mine
i'm forgetting how to breathe
it’s always on my mind
the way you move
through the light
descend through wild hills
and i close my eyes
and you just drive
