Put a flower in my hair
And kiss my heavy eyes
Climb the ladder of my ribcage
And take a look inside
Trace the bones in my back
And fill the spaces in between
Let me show you places
Others have never seen
Go quietly, be gentle
And I’ll give you a full tour
Hang your hat and coat
And take your shoes off at the door
Shut your eyes as you exhale
And step inside my dream
Let me show you places
Others have never seen
Hide in the hollow of my hand
And read between the lines
Peel back all my layers
And taste my salty brine
Come to me with thirst
And I’ll be your canteen
Let me show you places
Others have never seen

Put a flower in my hair
And kiss my heavy eyes
Climb the ladder of my ribcage
And take a look inside
Trace the bones in my back
And fill the spaces in between
Let me show you places
Others have never seen
Go quietly, be gentle
And I’ll give you a full tour
Hang your hat and coat
And take your shoes off at the door
Shut your eyes as you exhale
And step inside my dream
Let me show you places
Others have never seen
Hide in the hollow of my hand
And read between the lines
Peel back all my layers
And taste my salty brine
Come to me with thirst
And I’ll be your canteen
Let me show you places
Others have never seen
