The penultimate track of Incubus' 2004 album A Crow Left of the Murder is one of the softest songs on the record, describing a one-night stand that developed into an emotional relationship.
[Verse 1]
This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
You enter in full-blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world would fall apart in a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing now that you're here
[Chorus]
Yeah, love is a verb here in my room
Here in my room, here in my room
Yeah, love is a verb here in my room
Here in my room, here in my room
[Verse 2]
You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world as seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world would fall apart in a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing now that you're here
[Chorus]
Yeah, love is a verb here in my room
Here in my room, here in my room
Yeah, love is a verb here in my room
Here in my room, here in my room
[Outro]
Pink tractor beam into your incision
Head spinning as free as dervish's whirl
I came here expecting next to nothing
So, thank you for being that kind of girl, that kind of girl
That kind of girl, that kind of girl
That kind of girl, that kind of girl
That kind of girl, that kind of girl
That kind of girl, that kind of girl
That kind of girl
