[Verse 1]
I bet you taste like peppermint
You smell like damp pavement
Come through my door and be my fire's replacement
Your lips, I often dream of
And I've lost count of the times
You've caught me looking at you, you
[Pre-Chorus]
It used to be me wanting you visually, mentally
But we've grown far past that now
We're in a new realm now
Just love me, inside out
I promise I won't move about
I want your hands over me
'Round my body
[Chorus]
You got me losin' sleep over you
I usually sit still, but now I can't help but move
When I see you, I don't know what to do
Baby, you're makin' me sweat all the time
Every time your eyes meet mine, I come alive
My heart subsides
[Verse 2]
Why do I crave your attention?
Did I forget to mention that you remind me of the ocean?
Drifting me out into space
Forget the calm, forget the warm
I want the pain, bring on the storm
I'm ready for your love now like I've never been before
[Pre-Chorus]
It used to be me wanting you visually, mentally
But we've grown far past that now
We're in a new realm now
Just love me, inside out
I promise I won't move about
I want your hands over me
'Round my body
[Chorus]
You got me losin' sleep over you
I usually sit still but now I can't help but move
When I see you, I don't know what to do
Baby, you're makin' me sweat all the time
Every time your eyes meet mine, I come alive
My heart subsides
[Scatting Outro]
Subside was written by Eloise.
Subside was produced by Bruno Major.
The first song “Subside” is kind of about, like, the desire for someone when you feel like, for the first time, you’ve got an indication that they just might want you as well. So it’s like that kind of like, excitement and anticipation.
