[Intro]
Hands up
Eyes shut
He’s close
But it’s not enough
[Verse 1]
You’re lying on my chest
I’m a ghost in my own bed
You’re scrolling through your head
While I’m starving to be fed
Got my nails in your back
But you never scratch my soul
You say you’re giving all
I’m still aching in the folds
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel this tremble under my skin?
Every silent scream you’re sleeping in
I’m right here, burning at your feet
Why can everybody see me but you can’t see me?
[Chorus]
See me in the strobe light, hallelujah (hallelujah)
Make my body read like scripture to ya (read me)
I am crying out in every touch
I just wanna be your holy rush
I’m on my knees, I’m begging, do you feel me?
Turn this lonely flesh into a real thing
I’m a prayer you keep saying in your sleep
I just wanna be
Wanna be
Wanna be seen
[Drop]
[Beat drops, choir hits, vocal chop answering the hook]
(Seen, seen, seen)
(Feel me, feel me)
(Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
You kiss me like a habit
Not a miracle you found
You hold me like a jacket
You just throw me on the ground
I dress up like a promise
You undress me like a game
You touch every part of me
Except the part that says my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you taste this salt on my skin?
Is it sweat or all the tears I’m in?
You’re right here, but baby I’m beneath
Every “baby” that you whisper, I’m still out of reach
[Chorus]
See me in the strobe light, hallelujah (yeah)
Make my body read like scripture to ya
I am crying out in every touch
I just wanna be your holy rush
I’m on my knees, I’m begging, do you feel me?
Turn this lonely flesh into a real thing
I’m a prayer you keep saying in your sleep
I just wanna be
Wanna be
Wanna be seen
[Bridge]
Hands on my waist like you’re laying on an altar (hey)
Say my name slow, let the whole room alter
If this is worship, then look in my eyes
Don’t let this temple be another lie
Can you hold my hurt like you hold my hips?
Can you praise my heart when you praise my lips?
If I give you all that I am inside
Will you raise me up or let me die?
[Chorus]
See me in the strobe light, hallelujah
Make my body read like scripture to ya
I am crying out in every touch
I just wanna be your holy rush
I’m on my knees, I’m begging, do you feel me? (do you feel me?)
Turn this lonely flesh into a real thing
I’m a prayer you keep saying in your sleep
I just wanna be
Wanna be
Wanna be seen
[Drop]
[Beat explodes bigger, gospel choir answering the lead]
(Seen, seen)
(Felt, felt)
I just wanna be seen
I just wanna be felt
Lift me like I’m your heaven
Not another body on your shelf
