Why Must We Wait

(album: Would You Still Be In Love - 2018)

Strawberry streaks around your neck
Pushing you closer to the end
Free birding like, "rid me
Of all the things I ever thought I'd need"

Why must we wait
When the body is rushing
You can't help shrieking out
Take me all the way
And we die all night
In a ritual dance
So custom and arcane
I can't have enough

Flow with the temper in this way
Pushing you closer on to me
Cauterize deep, rid me
Of all the things I ever could believe

Why must we wait
With the temperature rising
You can't help crying out
"Give it all to me"
And we die each time
In a murderous broth
So delicate and ours
Making our escape

Slow love, so slow love
Much harder love, and slow
So slow love, so longer love
Much harder love, and slow

I've had enough
(Pull tight around my neck)
Feel it all too much
(Keep drifting as we fade out)
I've seen enough, feel it all too much
(Pull tight around my neck)
But you won't regret coming to life
(Keep drifting as we fade out)
I've seen enough, feel it all too much
(Pull tight around my neck)
I've seen enough, open your eyes, love
(Keep drifting as we fade out)
Open your eyes
