lyrics

lay with me in this barn just sink into the hay
i live on a street with trees, not anywhere near farms
but with you, i'd lay
mm

and that's not for the burning signals sent my way
ooh la la
cause i mean more than old dust which you blow away
ooh lala

scream with me off of this bridge
as we look over our seas
feel your voice dissolve in wind, nobody hears the meaning
but i feel your fear

and that's not forgiving in ways i came undone
ooh la la
for i mean more than noises you drown out with your tongue
ooh la la

darling just lay with me in this barn
given the weight of you on my heart
don't have to talk too much

i think you were made for me
not that we were meant to be
but i think you were made for me

don't be scared, it's me, you know that i don't bite i just get nervous and i hesitate under the speculation of another set of eyes locked in on yours because i'm jealous you're not only focused on mine
