Album: Better Weather (2016)

Higher

She crawled into my ear
Like a tapeworm telling me
Things I want to hear
The words escaped her mouth
With everything I should've been
"Are you all alone?"

I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
Eat it all apart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby let me take you higher

Her lips were close to mine (tell me that you wanted me)
Our breaths taken in time
Your silhouetted skin (tell me that you'll promise me)
To never say a thing

I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
Eat it all apart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby let me take you higher
[x2]

The dust on your windowsill
Cracked with an evening chill
The red from the wine you spill
That stains like your midnight kill
The bleach wouldn't wash it out
The feeling of the subtle doubt
It's something that I live with now

I could be a scar
Hold me at your heart
Eat it all apart
I could be your one desire
And even when we're done
Tell me I'm the sun
Baby let me take you higher
[x2]

Baby let me take you higher...
