Thirst (2013)

I still thirst for you
In the late night
Even with the sun down
Even in the daylight
I don’t know why I’m running right back
When you say it ain’t love
But it’s something like that (1)
You had me hanging on a dial tone
Miss opportunity was lonely
But she only seems to knock
When I’m not at home
We left off with the let’s pretend
We can just be friends
Caught a second wind
Now we’re playing chess again
I can’t expect to win
When you’re dressing like this
I can’t be held accountable for how it might get
The tension’s quite thick
Looking like I’m in trouble
Hard to be platonic
When I’ve touched every inch of you
So I try to resist the urges
I get when I watch you play
With your bottom lip when you’re nervous
I guess that I just preferred it
When we didn’t have to hold back
But I can tell there’s a part of you that knows that I
I still thirst for you
In the late night
Even with the sun down
Even in the daylight
I don’t know why I’m running right back
When you say it ain’t love
But it’s something like that (2)
It’s not like the conversation doesn’t intrigue me
But there’s not a drop of you I wouldn’t drink deeply
Let me speak easy
Yeah, you like to say a lot
I haven’t seen a fingertip
That tried to leave the tabletop
I can’t front like we never were in love before
I can’t push when we’re pulling in a tug of war
I’m not sure if I’m wondering your ring size
Or I wanna wander through the garden on the inside
But then I think of the breathing
The heat of the moment peaks
And the fever beneath us deepens
And I wonder why we ever try to hold back
But I can tell there’s a part of you that knows that
I still thirst for you
In the late night
Even with the sun down
Even in the daylight
I don’t know why I’m running right back
When you say it ain’t love
But it’s something like that
