Tell me sweet nothings
Like it’s nothing
It should come naturally to you
Like the color of the ocean with a deep blue hue
When your heart beats
Let that be the sound of my name
Call it like it’s not a shame
When you touch me, I need to quiver like a river
With currents so high, they look like they shiver
And if I shiver, I need you to hold me
Like a believer, let your solace be me
Need me, like a seed in the soil needs water to grow
Plant your seeds in me, in my loins that they may flow
Be the left to my right or the right to my left
Sticking together like fish trapped in a net
We can cut through it and swim out together
Like the hurdles we jump to get to the finished line together
There is no me without you or you without me
That’s the way it’s supposed to be
If the love is real
Then this is the way I need to feel
