I love you all around, I care about every single part of you.
If you should fall to the ground, I'll do what I can to remind you
that I love you (x8).
I have no reason to be so unhappy,
but I've got nowhere left to hide.
Souls are drifting while I'm still sifting through
dreams uplifting,
but I will always know your name.
And I can hear your skeleton shrinking,
I can hear your eyelids blinking,
I can hear your heart rate sinking*,
but I can't hear what you're thinking.
I have no reason to sing in a way that's so unnerving,
but my voice has got nowhere left to hide.
Your voice eskews me,
it courses through me,
then softly subdues me,
and I will never be the same.
I can hear your skeleton shrinking,
I can hear your eyelids blinking,
I can hear your heart rate sinking,
but I can't hear what you're thinking.
I love you more than really either of us realize.
I'll join you on the floor
and melt into a smile as I slowly start to rise
Above you (x7).
Above! (x3).
I love you…
*Okay, so I messed up this lyric on the recording. We all make mistakes. Let's just pretend I say SINKING instead of SHRINKING on the third line of the third and fifth stanzas.
