Higher

(album: Better Weather - 2016)

She crawled into my ear
Like a tapeworm telling me things I want to hear
The words escaped her mouth
With everything I should've been
And "Are you all alone?"

And I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
Eat it all apart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby, let me take you higher
Baby, let me take you higher

Her lips were close to mine
Oh, tell me that you wanted me
Our breaths taken in time
Your silhouetted skin
Oh, tell me that you'll promise me
To never say a thing

And I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
Eat it all apart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby, let me take you higher
And I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby, let me take you higher

The dust on your windowsill
It's cracked with an evening chill
The red from the wine you spill
That stains like your midnight kill
The bleach wouldn't wash it out
This feeling of subtle doubt
It's something that I live with now

And I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
Eat it all apart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby, let me take you higher
And I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby, let me take you higher

Baby let me take you higher
I could be a star, hold me at your heart
Baby let me take you higher
Even when we're done, tell me I'm the sun
Baby let me take you higher

She said, "Baby, let me take you higher."
