Temporarily Painless
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We don't have to explain it
But we just wait too long
Even though our lives faded
I still saw you hit the ground
When I push you in my arm
Feel it all through me
When you promise me nothing
You give me everything I need
She comes over
We're both not sober
It's like we're losing our minds
We kiss like lovers
And Cupid hovers
Like he's just learning to fly
And even though it's dangerous
It's temporarily painless
I'm falling for a stranger, stranger
No need to justify
Looking for a little bit of love tonight
I need somebody
You need somebody too
No need to justify
All I wanna be is your drug tonight
I need somebody
You need somebody too
I need somebody
You need somebody too
I need somebody
Don't even know what your name is
When I taste your skin
I don't wanna sound shameless
I just wanna bring your body
Wanna push you in my place
Here to hear you scream
You don't even have to stay
Oh but I don't think you wanna leave
She comes over
We're both not sober
It's like we're losing our minds
We kiss like lovers
And Cupid hovers
Like he's just learning to fly
And even though it's dangerous
It's temporarily painless
I'm falling for a stranger, stranger
No need to justify
Looking for a little bit of love tonight
I need somebody
You need somebody too
No need to justify
All I wanna be is your drug tonight
I need somebody
You need somebody too
I need somebody
And even though it's dangerous
It's temporarily painless
I'm falling for a stranger, stranger
Even though it's dangerous
It's temporarily painless
I'm falling for a stranger, stranger
No need to justify
Looking for a little bit of love tonight
I need somebody
You need somebody too
No need to justify
All I wanna be is your drug tonight
I need somebody
You need somebody too
I need somebody
You need somebody too
I need somebody
You need somebody too
