Body Says Yes

[Verse 1]
Heavy heart on the sidewalk
You step on it like a crack in the ground
I let you walk all over me
Still I keep crawling back for another round
Your eyes say stay away
Your hands don’t listen though
You trace my name down my spine
Like you’re spelling out “don’t go”
[Chorus]
Your mouth says no
But your body says yes
Every shake
Every shiver
Gives you away
I confess
You push me back
But you’re pulling me in
Don’t play safe
Don’t pretend
We’re past the line we won’t mend
Your mouth says no
But your body says yes
[Verse 2]
You bite your lip till it’s bleeding
Like you’re trying not to speak
You say you’re tired of needing
But you’re grabbing at my teeth
You throw your hate like a weapon
But you’re shaking when we’re chest to chest
You say you’re done
You say you’re leaving
But you’re tangled in my mess
[Chorus]
Your mouth says no
But your body says yes
Every shake
Every shiver
Gives you away
I confess
You push me back
But you’re pulling me in
Don’t play safe
Don’t pretend
We’re past the line we won’t mend
Your mouth says no
But your body says yes
[Bridge]
I want every word to match your touch
I want every touch to feel like trust
If you want me
You can say it
If you don’t
I’ll have to face it
So don’t tell me “go”
While you hold me like this
I won’t take your silence
For a twisted kind of “yes”
[Chorus]
Your mouth says no
So your body means no
I’m stepping back from the fire
Let the fever let go
I wanted you
But I’m wanting you safe
If we ever cross that line
It’s ’cause you chose the place
Your mouth says no
So your body means no

Dark, seductive alt-pop with male vocals; pulsing low synths and a slow, thick kick, ghostly pads in the verses. Chorus explodes with distorted bass swells, stacked whispers and breathy doubles on the topline. Subtle reverse-reverb swells pull into each hook, bridge strips to vocal and sub before a final, desperate chorus.
