lyrics

I'd love to say I love you
like I love Sundays.
I'd love to say I love you
like I love my mother's ways.

But that wouldn't be quite true,
would it?
But that wouldn't be quite true,
would it?

I'd love to say I love you
like watching bruise's colour change.
I'd love to say I love you
like a phrase from a novel
that stays with you for days.

But that wouldn't be quite true,
would it?
But that wouldn't be quite true,
would it?

I want you,
that's true.
I want you to finish what you began.

'Cause, every time I see the edges of you
walking through that door
my limbs get heavy as though
gravity is holding me closer.

Stop skimming around me
giving me half-finished questions
and half-started answers
and breaths that I hold
'cause I want them to land
in the crook of your neck
while I tell you all my secrets,
tell you all my secrets.

I'd love to say I love you
I'd love to say I love you
I'd love to say I love you
I'd love to say I love you
I'd love to say I love you
'cos you're stuck in my skin.
