Surface Tension

(Verse 1)

The silk of your voice is tracing my neck

Leaving a trail I haven’t followed yet.

You’re leaning in, smelling like rain and smoke

The kind of invitation that leaves me broke.

I’m watching your mouth move, tracing the line

But your mind is a rhythm I can’t quite find.

(Pre-Chorus)

It’s a slow-burn fever, a velvet ache

How much of this friction can one heart take?

You’re a beautiful storm, but you’re locked in tight

I want the heat, not just the light.

(Chorus)

I want to feel the ghost of your secrets on my skin

Show me where you end and I begin.

There’s a hunger in the silence, a pulse beneath the floor

I’m tired of tasting you through a closed door.

Strip back the caution, let the honey run deep

I’ve got promises to break and no secrets to keep.

Give me the soul, and I’ll take the rest

Let’s put this distance to the ultimate test.

(Verse 2)

Your eyes are a riot, but your hands are still

I’m waiting on the movement, waiting on the will.

The air in the room is getting heavy and thick

Like a countdown timer, click-click-click.

Physical gravity is doing its part

But I’m still waiting for the keys to your heart.

(Bridge)

(Heavy bass, whispered vocals)

Skin on skin is just the start of the climb

I want to lose my breath and lose my sense of time.

But the body’s a liar if the spirit is cold

I want the story that’s never been told.

Unravel the thread, let the garment fall

I want the mess of you, I want it all.

(Chorus)

I want to feel the ghost of your secrets on my skin

Show me where you end and I begin.

There’s a hunger in the silence, a pulse beneath the floor

I’m tired of tasting you through a closed door.

Strip back the caution, let the honey run deep

I’ve got promises to break and no secrets to keep.

(Outro)

(Slow, rhythmic)

Surface tension... break it.

The distance... erase it.

Right here.

Right now.

Don't think... just feel.
