If you let me
I will raise you higher
Than the unfathomable
Let me skate on your pastel skin
Fall in sync with the chromatic melody
That your flesh desperately sings
Coy as a windless night
You drifted into my life
Like the moaning current
Of the possessive sea
Just when I thought the echoes
Of loveless nights would never end
You moved like silk
Parallel to the blackening breeze
Stripped me of shame
Covered with a quilt of confidence
My torpedo stricken body
You lifted me up so high
That I forgot how stones felt
Underneath my calloused soles
And you still don’t know
You have not a clue
That I owe you everything

If you let me
I will raise you higher
Than the unfathomable
Let me skate on your pastel skin
Fall in sync with the chromatic melody
That your flesh desperately sings
Coy as a windless night
You drifted into my life
Like the moaning current
Of the possessive sea
Just when I thought the echoes
Of loveless nights would never end
You moved like silk
Parallel to the blackening breeze
Stripped me of shame
Covered with a quilt of confidence
My torpedo stricken body
You lifted me up so high
That I forgot how stones felt
Underneath my calloused soles
And you still don’t know
You have not a clue
That I owe you everything
