Drown-ing in the Blue Nile, he sent me “Down-town Lights.”

3′ 1′ 1′ 7 1′ 1′ 3 (51)
I had-n’t heard it in a while.

2′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 2’        3′ 1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 1′ (641)
My bore-dom’s bone deep; this cage was once just fine.

3′ 1′ 7 7 1′ 1′
Am I al-lowed to cry?

3 5 3 5 3 (51)       5 5 5 1′ 1′ 5 5 5 3 5 3 (51)
I dream of crack-ing locks, throw-ing my life to the wolves or the o-cean rocks.

5 5 5 1′ 1′ 5 5 5 3 5 3 (51)
Crash-ing in-to him to-night, he’s a par-a-dox.

5 5 5 5 1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 2′ (3’1′) 2′
I’m see-ing vi-sions. Am I bad, or mad, or wise?

What if he’s writ-ten “mine” on my up-per thigh on-ly in my mind?

One slip and fall-ing back in-to the hedge maze, oh, what a way to die.

5′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 2′ (3’1′) 2′
I keep re-call-ing things we nev-er did,

5 5 2′ 2′ (2’2) 1′ 5 5 2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ (1’35)
mess-y top-lip kiss. How I long for our trysts.

5 5 5 5 2′ 1′ 3′ (2’2) 5 5 5 5 5 4 3 4 (31)
With-out ev-er touch-ing his skin, how can I be guilt-y as sin?

3′ 1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ (2’46) 1′ 6
I keep these long-ings locked

3′ 1′ 1′ 7 1′ 1′ 3 (51)
in low-er-case, in-side a vault.

2′ 1′ 2′ 2’      1′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 2′ (2’46) 1′ 6
Some-one told me, ”There’s no such thing as bad thoughts.

On-ly your ac-tions talk.”

These fa-tal fan-ta-sies, giv-ing way to la-bored breath, tak-ing all of me.

We’ve al-read-y done it in my head.

If it’s make-be-lieve, why does it feel like a vow we’ll both up-hold some-how?

One slip and fall-ing back in-to the hedge maze, oh, what a way to die.

5′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 1′ 2′ (3’1′) 2′
My bed-sheets are a-blaze. I’ve screamed his name,

5 5 2′ 2′ (2’2) 1′ 5 5 2′ 2′ 2′ (1’35)
build-ing up like waves crash-ing o-ver my grave.

5 5 5 5 2′ 1′ 3′ (2’2) 5 5 5 5 5 4 3 4 (31)
With-out ev-er touch-ing his skin, how can I be guilt-y as sin?

What if I roll the stone a-way?

They’re gon-na cru-ci-fy me an-y-way.

1′ 1′ 1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ (1’5) 1′ 1′ 1′ 1′ 2′ 2′ (1’3)
What if the way you hold me is ac-tual-ly what’s ho-ly?

1′ 4′ 4′ 4′ 4′ 4′ 4′ 3′ (3’3)   2′ 2′ 2′ 2′ 1′ (2’24)
If long-suf-fer-ing pro-pri-e-ty is what they want from me,

2′ 3′ 4′ 3′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 2′ 3′ (2’46) 1′ 1′
they don’t know how you’ve haunt-ed me so stun-ing-ly.

3′ 2′ 2′ 1′ 1’     2′ 2′ 1′ (1’1)
I choose you and me re-lig-ious-ly.
