Craving Only You

[Verse 1]
I swipe through faces on my phone
All these perfect strangers
Yeah
They smile
They pose
They glow
But they don’t light the anger
In my chest when I see your name
Still pinned in our old thread
Every match just turns to grey
You’re the one in my head
[Chorus]
I don’t want their hands
I don’t want their bodies
I don’t feel a thing when they lean in close
All I ever crave is you
Just you
Your laugh
Your scars
Your clothes on my floor
I’m starving for the life we tore in two
I don’t want the world
I’m craving only you
[Verse 2]
My friends keep saying
“You’ll move on”
Push me toward the weekend
But their plus-ones blur into one
I fake a smile
Pretend
Every drink just tastes like you
Lipstick on my memory
Every touch just falls straight through
You’re still the only gravity
[Chorus]
I don’t want their hands
I don’t want their bodies
I don’t feel a thing when they lean in close
All I ever crave is you
Just you
Your laugh
Your scars
Your clothes on my floor
I’m starving for the life we tore in two
I don’t want the world
I’m craving only you
[Bridge]
Why does everyone look see-through now? (yeah)
You ruined all the colors somehow
I had whole oceans in your eyes
Now I’m choking on this dry
Plain sky
[Chorus]
I don’t want their hands
I don’t want their bodies
I don’t feel a thing when they lean in close
All I ever crave is you
Just you
Your laugh
Your scars
Your clothes on my floor
I’d burn this town to feel you like before
I don’t want the world
I’m craving only you
(only you, only you)

rock, Modern alternative rock with male vocals; clean arpeggiated guitar in the verses over warm bass and tight, dry drums, then fuzzed-out power chords slamming in on the chorus. Vocal builds from intimate, almost spoken lines into a raw, shouted hook. Subtle backing “whoa”s in the last chorus, big final ring-out on the tonic chord.
