Lyrics
Eric
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.
You like control, well I do too
Take off my clothes and watch me move
You can come closer, I'll let you hurt me
How you choose
Help me with the zipper on my skirt, it's stuck
As you kneel I'll be watching you fix me
This view of you, of the top of your head
Makes me forgive you
But how long, how long can we play this way?
I'm tired, I'm tired of not loving you
My heart, my heart wants to hold you
But I know, I know, I know the rules
Blue light, dark room, the white of your teeth
As you smile at my trembling shoulders
But your skin, did you notice your skin?
It cries a soft weep like mine
I'll sell, I'll sell my heart to you
What's my, what's my, what's my price
How 'bout, how 'bout just a part of you
'Cause I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want
