[Verse 1]
Let me be the sweat beneath your shirt
The wrinkle in your bedsheet where you turn
Let me be the glass you leave half-drank
The taste on your mouth you don’t wipe away
If you need a silence you can’t fill
I’ll be the ache, the longing, the want that lingers still
[Chorus]
My life started where you began
More than a lover, more than a man
No disguise, nothing left to defend
You are the start, you are the end
My life started where you began
[Verse 2]
Let me be the shiver at your wrist
The reason my hands find the place you can’t resist
Let me love your bruises and scars you never hide
We all have our little secrets, the ones we keep locked inside
If you need a place to fall apart
I’ll be the tether and the bond that holds together your heart
[Chorus]
My life started where you began
More than a lover, more than a man
No disguise, nothing left to defend
You are the start, you are the end
My life started where you began
[Verse 3]
Let me be the tremor in your knees
The whisper that bends you into release
Let me be the breath against your skin
The voice that pulls your hunger in
If you need a promise that won’t untie
I’ll be the vow that will not die
[Verse 4]
Let me be the night you can’t confess
The hunger buried deep beneath your breasts
Let me be the mark you cannot lose
The song your body vibrates to
If you need a name you can’t let go
I’ll be the one you’ll always know
[Bridge]
Trace me slow where the dark won’t reach
Write your want across my teeth
Every word you never spoke
I’ll lay it bare while laying naked
We’ll read it letter for letter, note for note
[Final Chorus — Resolved]
My life started where you began
More than a lover, more than a man
No disguise, nothing left to defend
You are the start, you are the end
My life started where you began
[Outro, whispered over fading chords]
Where you began
Where you began
My life started where you began
