Intro:
Tear me open at the seams
Take everything you need
Take my heart if you like the beat
Take my lungs if it’s hard
to breathe to breathe

Verse 1:
“I’m not cold” she said
But she’s shaking
As she’s lying next to me naked
Pulled the hair back from her face
To let that smile heat this place
And this feels so far from real
I’m lost and I love it
Refrain:
I can’t take it
If you’re waiting
I am ready to tell the world
About a girl who showed me
Love again for the first time
And it’s everything I dreamed of
Chorus 1:
Tell me what you thought about
When you were breathing oh so loud
Screaming oh so loud
Tell me if this is real
I need to know before
I get too close
Verse 2:
So here we lie in this beautiful mess
Of tangled sheets and beads of sweat
With my heart in your hand
My neck in the other
Should I be scared or
should I come closer?
But it’s still beating
and I'm still breathing
You haven’t hurt me yet
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 2:
Tell me what you thought about
When you were breathing oh so loud
Screaming oh so loud
Tell me if this is real
I need to know before
I get too close
Bridge:
Morning always
comes too quick
When you’re around
When you’re around
You leave me lying here
So they don’t find us out
They’ll find us out
Tear me open at the seams
Take everything you need
Take my heart if
you like the beat
Take my lungs if
it’s hard to breathe
to breathe
(Repeat Refrain 1)
Refrain 2:
I can’t take it
If you’re waiting
I am ready to tell the world
About a girl who showed me
(hold)
Love again for the first time
