[Verse 1]
We never talk about it
Too real to put it into words
These moments always seem too crowded
But your distance is the one that burns
[Pre-Chorus]
So I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
'Cause I'm losing sight
Of love and lust and trust and everything
[Chorus]
Feelings so flammable
A high that is tangible
It's not collateral
My eyes are red, and I can feel again
[Post-Chorus]
I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
'Cause something reminds me
Of love and lust and trust and everything
[Verse 2]
I know what you probably think of me
I'm just another flame you love to play with
But if you could read through this obscurity
You'd see you are the motif I refrain with
[Verse 3]
Maybe if I was a more steady person
I wouldn't be constantly searching for security
I wouldn't hold these bruises in my skin
I would shake off all of this emptiness
It'd fall through me
[Pre-Chorus]
But, I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
'Cause I'm losing sight
Of love and lust and trust and everything
[Chorus]
Feelings so flammable
A high that is tangible
It's not collateral
My eyes are red, and I can feel again
[Bridge]
Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep before I do
I'm scared to dream, I'm scared to bleed for something new
'Cause lately I've been chasing myself through the motions
Waiting and waning in this cascade of notion
[Outro]
So I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
'Cause I'm losing sight
Of love and lust and trust and everything
I wouldn't mind
If you stay here tonight
'Cause something reminds me
Of love and lust and trust and everything
