Lyrics Fortress - Bloc Party

Fortress

These sheets of ours
Shield our bodies like a fortress
They keep us safe
From harm
Intertwined
Our bodies lay there like a comma
The arch of your back
Invites desire
We put our bodies to the test
Follow the curve right down your neck
Your sweat, my sweat stuck in a web
And in the mirror, you relent
It’s teasing me with every step
Reach down and feel how strong
My love grows just for you
Pull me under, under the ocean
Cover my mouth with yours
Put it on me like no one’s watching
Like it’s the first time
And on the street
Our bodies ache for one another
I just can’t wait
Till we’re alone, mmm mmm
And I’m a fool for the sight
Of all the gold between your thighs
You still the sea
That’s stirring deep in me
Make your base right here, next to me
As our notes blend in harmony
And when we sex, we hear the beat
And it’s so serene
Pull me under, under the ocean
Cover my mouth with yours
Put it on me like no one’s watching
Like it’s the first time
And if you’re hungry, devour your morsel
Cover my mouth with yours
Put it on me like no one’s watching
Like it’s the first time
Pull me under, under the ocean
Cover my mouth with yours
Put it on me like no one’s watching
Like it’s the first time we kissed
