The tiny blonde hairs on your arm keep me up at night And I always forget to tell you Feeling your pulse next to mine keeps me up at night And I always forget to tell you Don't wake up please don't wake up Don't wake up, don't wake up Stay where you are, let me watch you while you sleep, curled up, don't move, so I can learn Your breathing patterns Slow down you idiot, slow down you're trembling (x2) Slow down But if you woke up, and opened wide, your eye contact alone would burn A hole into my retina Would burn a hole into my retina (x3) And if you kissed me; Sparks and nerves A wave of wide awake From the thin of my lips I'll try not to blink And through your tangled hair Your eye lids are dancing Pretending I don't care I'm guessing what you're dreaming
I wonder how this worked out Ethical cat and mouse Ethanol, are we allowed? Don't wake up, keep it down Idiot, please slow down Just a little whisper and I am deaf in one ear again, just a little whisper (x2) The words that you said under your breath seem to have changed everything (x2) Sparks and nerves I'm wide awake From the thin of my lips I'll try not to blink Clasp your hands and hold your head You won't understand So stay in bed Whispers and tiptoes and a twisted ankle I'm gonna slow dance my way out of here Whispers and tiptoes and a twisted ankle I'm gonna slow dance my way out of here You should have said so You should have said something You should have said You should have said something
