Color Theory - The Rule Of Tickles lyrics

You could torture me to tears And not leave a mark So it's not easy for me To let down my guard When the natural thing to do Is protect myself From an overwhelming touch Crossing into pain If you're delicate enough You can have your way But I need a safety net So you'd better not forget The rule of tickles is You've got to stop when I say when If you take this game too far I'll never play with you again So watch for subtle cues 'Cause I like you a lot Can I trust you, or not? When your fingertips explore All you feel is touch As sensations in my skin 'Cause my blood to rush It's like falling deep in love With a platonic friend I can't do it to myself It's impossible 'Cause I'm only sensitive When I'm vulnerable The successful hand relies On the element of surprise Laughter doesn't always mean That I'm having fun I may laugh reflexively Before you've begun But you have my full consent If you're willing to relent I'm easy to amuse 'Cause I like you a lot Can I trust you, or not?
