lyrics

We are shallow breathers
Alike in our fears
Alike in self-loathing
Avoiding what we hold most dear
We are animals highly attuned
Let’s just see what we can do
Let’s kiss two beats longer
Raise our frequency me and you

I’m a quiet hoodlum
A sometimes thief
Sometimes not talking
Is such a relief
But I’ll never stay silent
Not when so much isn’t right
Voices muffled
Like hell I won’t fight

Mm mm Try me

I could lie and say it don’t mean a thing
Would that make you happy?
I could lie and say it can be undone
Would that keep you around?
Mm
I could say my heart’s not in
But it’s always been
Maybe that’s how we got to be here
In this game of lost and found we’re in

I’m like a fine point pen, careful and specific
You think you got my number, but you don’t know how terrific
We are animals highly attuned
Let’s just see what we can do
Let’s kiss two beats longer
Raise our frequency me and you

Mm try me, mm

I could lie and say it don’t mean a thing
Would that make you happy?
I could lie and say it can be undone
Would that keep you around?
