Lean In

Playing with fire, it's a hobby we share And the pyro in you noticed flames in my hair A flickering shadow, your body and mine And I can't look away, and there's just enough time And I'm starting to linger the longer you let me And waiting and willing your hands to come get me Pretending it's simple and doesn't affect me But no one can tell me, and heaven can't help me When you reach out, and I lean in And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm And break the rules, but not too much Platonic touch that's weighted with wanting And waiting for wanting to stop No drama in something that isn't existent But the pain of my lust is acute and persistent And I won't ignore when you sigh with frustration And I'll drown here darkly in anticipation And I'm starting to linger the longer you let me One brush of your finger undoes and upsets me Forgetting myself til' the day you forget me But no one can tell me, and heaven can't help me When you reach out, and I lean in And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm And break the rules, but not too much Platonic touch that's weighted with wanting And waiting for wanting to stop How easy and grounding, unstable, unfounding It's scary, inviting, perverse, gratifying It's raw and revealing, no chance of it healing And how it unseats me, this feeling defeats me Yes, it's easy and grounding, unstable, unfounding It's scary, inviting, perverse, gratifying It's raw and revealing, this dangerous feeling And how it unnerves me, I think you can't hurt me When you reach out, and I lean in And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm And break the rules, but not too much Platonic touch that's loaded with longing, and slowly exploding As you reach out, and I lean in And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm Of not too close, but just past safe, and limits chafe And shiver away, and defy all convention It won't go away without swift intervention It's weighted with wanting, and waiting for wanting to stop
