Stay over me
I feel you on the water
You converge with my faces
We have no space between
Work your way over my chestplate
Earn me with your stressed delay
Trust me when I keep you safe
I hold you here and dear when you're awake
Leave me to rest
Then you come back along to sing
With my body, you make the world scream
And I rewrite myself in you
So don't use me with the limelight
Like everyone has found in hindsight
I don't need another blindside
I need reanimating twilight
(starlight) to be aligned with you
(streetlights) to be aligned with you
(lifelines) to die inside with you
(hold on) to grow side by side with you
Who will be the one to claim me?
Who will be the one to slay me?
Will the music that I make end up making me?
When will there be lucidity for me?

Stay over me
I feel you on the water
You converge with my faces
We have no space between
Work your way over my chestplate
Earn me with your stressed delay
Trust me when I keep you safe
I hold you here and dear when you're awake
Leave me to rest
Then you come back along to sing
With my body, you make the world scream
And I rewrite myself in you
So don't use me with the limelight
Like everyone has found in hindsight
I don't need another blindside
I need reanimating twilight
(starlight) to be aligned with you
(streetlights) to be aligned with you
(lifelines) to die inside with you
(hold on) to grow side by side with you
Who will be the one to claim me?
Who will be the one to slay me?
Will the music that I make end up making me?
When will there be lucidity for me?
