[Interlude]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[Verse 2]

Cascading through the open door
And dancing on your lips

To the place I was before I met you
And Icarus, lead the way
To where I need to go
I hear your footsteps now
Barefoot soles on the bathroom floor
And on my way out
I told you I would never leave
[Outro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
