A sandstorm swept across my skin
They said with time that I’d begin
To feel the fleeting flush of love
Inside my palms again

The sun was blocked by flocks of dreams
Sent skyward – I could not believe
The shadows when they rocked the ground
Beneath my feet

Every saving grace since then’s been hot to the touch
I paved a slippery surface underfoot that kept me from trusting
In something for nothing
I still felt the burn and the bite

[Chorus]
But this feels right on my tongue
And everyone’s coming out from under the cracks
To see if I last in this armistice
Honest, this is not what I expected
But this feels right and I know
My bones were too cold
To think of letting you illuminate my body and soul
But I can’t deny that in your eyes, there’s a safety
And it leaves me satisfied

Like fresh baked bread we rise so slow
Crackle and glow with the mystery
Of unfamiliarity
And watercolor hearts bleeding free, free

Will you please dance with me baby
I thought the music died and I cried for the longest time
I swear, I found you there
Nestled in the pages of the places so jaded to me

And you, sir, are hot to the touch
It’s taking all I have to trust a little bit but not too much
Cause I know I still feel his burn and your bite

[Chorus]
But this feels right on my tongue
And everyone’s coming out from under the cracks
To see if I last in this armistice
Honest, this is not what I expected
But this feels right and I know
My bones were too cold
To think of letting you illuminate my body and soul
But I can’t deny that in your eyes, there’s a safety
And it leaves me satisfied

And everything I thought I knew and everything I buried
I want to put you on repeat – I know I shouldn’t hurry this
But you’re as fresh as lemonade and I been sour since
I traded no for yes and put the best of me inside a cage.
And now you’re asking why my eyes have changed from black to blue
I’d spell it out for you but I’m afraid to sing that tune
When I know that I’m scared more than most
But I’m fighting for your light, it’s shining bright, cause baby…

[Chorus]
This feels right on my tongue
And everyone’s coming out from under the cracks
To see if I last in this armistice
Honest, this is not what I expected
But this feels right and I know
My bones were too cold
To think of letting you illuminate my body and soul
But I can’t deny that in your eyes, there’s a safety
And it leaves me satisfied
