Like most of Dodie’s songs, this one is about a lover, who is unnamed. She feels that she has become numb and in fear of the world, then this person comes along and she is safe. She hopes that they are “the one” and that they won’t be hurt by her. She wants them to take away all of her pain.
Dodie...
[Verse 1]
Skin
Heat
Hair in your mouth
Feet touching feet
Oh you
And I
Safe from the world
Though the world will try
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm afraid of the things in my brain
But we can stay here
And laugh away the fear
[Verse 2]
Numb
Fine
You create a rarity
Of my genuine smile
So breathe
Breathe with me
Can you drink all my thoughts?
'Cause I can't stand them
Oh, oh...
O-oh, oh, oh, oh...
Intertwined
Free
I've pinned each and every hope on you
I hope that you don't bleed with me
[Chorus]
I'm afraid of the things in my brain
But we can stay here
And laugh away the fear
[Outro]
Hm, hm...
Hm-hm...
