VERSE ONE
there was something quite so strange
buzzing in the air like electricity
dizzy drunk and dazed out of my mind
from the currents running up and down my spine
VERSE TWO
i left my body, stepped outside my skin
it’s been a while since i have felt this comfortable
baby you’ve got magic in your eyes
been a while since i have let myself get this hypnotized
CHORUS
i had checked into that old motel
intending never to check out again
maybe it was all inside my mind
so why do currents still run up and down my spine
i wouldn’t believe you if you’d told me on that night
that the best was yet to come, in fact the best i’d yet to write
i crave you like a drug and i can’t wait to overdose
won’t comedown to save my life, rather be dead or comatose
VERSE THREE
you have a mortality thats heavier than most
the weight sits on my shoulders ‘til my back is nearly broke
every day i fear i will get that call
telling me you’re good and dead, dead and truly gone
VERSE FOUR
just in case it comes too soon
i wrote down things needed to say to you
fleeting dreams i can’t quite count
the bitter taste of sweeter mouths
CHORUS
i had checked into that old motel
intending never to check out again
maybe it was all inside my mind
so why do currents still run up and down my spine
i wouldn’t believe you if you’d told me on that night
that the best was yet to come, in fact the best i’d yet to write
i crave you like a drug and i can’t wait to overdose
won’t comedown to save my life, rather be dead or comatose
