[Verse 1]
She looked through me
Those shady eyes
Like curtains half-drawn
On a storm inside
Lips at my ear
I could feel her breath
Words like incense
Curling around my chest
"Hunger feeds the feast"
She said so slow
"Stay right here
Let the wanting grow" (oh)
[Chorus]
Longing doesn’t mean absence
It just means I’m awake
It’s the soul trying to swallow
All the endless
All the ache
Every ache is an entrance
Every ache is a key
The question is an echo of the answer
Calling back through me
[Verse 2]
Hands almost touch
Never quite meet
We circle the fire
Afraid of the heat
She closes her eyes
Like opening a door
"I’ve been here
I’ve been here before" (yeah)
[Chorus]
Longing doesn’t mean absence
It just means I’m awake
It’s the soul trying to swallow
All the endless
All the ache
Every ache is an entrance
Every ache is a key
The question is an echo of the answer
Calling back through me
[Bridge]
What if this hunger is holy?
What if this ache is a guide?
What if the silence is singing
Everything we hide? (woah)
[Chorus]
Longing doesn’t mean absence
It just means I’m awake
It’s the soul trying to swallow
All the endless
All the ache
Every ache is an entrance
Every ache is a key
The question is an echo of the answer
Calling back through me (through me)
