Shadow Touch

Mmm… she don’t know

She never knows (oh no)

But every time she turns around…

I disappear into the smoke

Late night calls when the city’s asleep

Your name on my screen, but I’m already deep

In her best friend’s sheets, silk on my skin

Lipstick on my neck from the places we sin

She texts “where you at?” while I’m gripping her hips (yeah)

Whispering secrets with my hand on her lips

Keep it low, keep it quiet, no lights in the room

Just the glow from the city and the sound of her moan

She thinks I’m out with the boys, rolling slow

But I’m buried inside what she’ll never know (she don’t know)

Her perfume on my collar, but it ain’t hers

It’s the one that makes my body burn

Fuckin’ her best friend, behind her back (behind her back)

In the dark, we collide, no turnin’ back

She don’t know, she don’t see, but she feels the lie (feels the lie)

Every time I leave, I’m still between her thighs

Shadow touch, midnight rush, can’t get enough (can’t get enough)

Stealin’ pleasure while I’m actin’ like I’m in love

Fuckin’ her best friend, quiet as the night (quiet as the night)

Goddamn, she feels so right… and it ain’t right

Bathroom at the party, door barely locked

Her dress on the floor while the music still knocks

She bites on my shoulder so nobody hears (shh)

The way she says my name dripping in tears

Of pleasure, not pain — we both know the game

Same circle, same pain, but we’re addicted the same

Your girl thinks we’re strangers, just passing by

But I know every curve when I close my eyes (every curve)

She’s calling my phone while I’m deep in her throat

I let it ring out, leave her on read, leave her broke (yeah)

Guilt tastes sweet when it’s mixed with her sweat

One more round before I go back to the set

Fuckin’ her best friend, behind her back (behind her back)

In the dark, we collide, no turnin’ back

She don’t know, she don’t see, but she feels the lie (feels the lie)

Every time I leave, I’m still between her thighs

Shadow touch, midnight rush, can’t get enough (can’t get enough)

Stealin’ pleasure while I’m actin’ like I’m in love

Fuckin’ her best friend, quiet as the night (quiet as the night)

Goddamn, she feels so right… and it ain’t right

And when she kisses me goodnight, all innocent and sweet

I still taste her best friend on my tongue, bitter and deep (mmm)

One day it’ll burn, one day it’ll break

But tonight I’m just drowning in the risk that I take

(Instrumental break: Slow, pulsing bass and hazy synths continue from the bridge. No vocals. Let this run for 12–20 seconds)

(Music swells slightly with a low, breathy vocal effect fading in)

Yeah… you feel that? (you feel that?)

(Pause for one beat)

Back in the shadows…

Mmm… she don’t know

She never knows (never knows)

But every time she falls asleep…

I’m already gone…

Into the shadow

Where the real me shows
