lyrics

Open wide
Your crooked pearly whites.
Heaven hangs on your reply.

I believe
In a second life.
The kind where I can die beneath your tongue.

I can't get close enough to you.
I can't get close enough to you.

When I moved across the water
I called you every night.
I mistook my echo for you.
Every breath became a sigh.

I can't get close enough to you.
I can't get close enough to you.
I can't get...

Oh god,
The way it felt
To move inside you,
So impatient to hear you make a sound.

This bed of clouds is sinking,
I read your lips unblinking,
My ears ringing with doubt.
With doubt.
With doubt.

But you just look at me through your half-parted lip pity.
