Hot Tea

I really do wanna be
Crashing into your shore
Wrapping all around you
Sinking to the ground floor
Ocean deep
I wanna be
Here at your door
At 12 am
And sleeping on your porch
Until you get in
Looking into your eyes (endlessly)
Falling into your lap (desperately)
Sitting at your feet
Soaking in all your energy
Sip you through my front teeth
Held too close
(Ooh-ooh) hold you in my hands like hot tea
Knowing I'm safe 'cause you want me
(Ooh-ooh) sitting in a garden at your feet
You, me, only
Holding on and on
You're clawing at the corner of my heart, I
Can't afford to lose you any longer
(Ooh-ooh) holding you like hot tea
You, me, only
Holding on and on
I wanna be ruined by love
Drowning in rivers of peace
Taking a piece of the cut
Longing for everything
Take it all in life-sized bites
I'ma be outside
Up all night
In the stars
Pale moonrise
Longing for everything
Looking into your eyes (endlessly)
Falling into your lap (desperately)
Sitting at your feet
Soaking in all your energy
Oh, right now, I wanna be
Held too close
(Ooh-ooh) hold you in my hands like hot tea
Knowing I'm safe 'cause you want me
(Ooh-ooh) sitting in a garden at your feet
You, me, only
Holding on and on
You're clawing at the corner of my heart, I
Can't afford to lose you any longer
(Ooh-ooh) holding you like hot tea
You, me, only
Holding on and on
Hold you in my hands like hot tea
Knowing I'm safe 'cause you want me
Sitting in a garden at your feet
You, me, only
Holding on and on (on and on)
You're clawing at the corner of my heart, I (on and on)
Can't afford to lose you any longer
Holding you like hot tea
You, me, only
Holding on and on
