While the Signal Slips

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can make your whole orbit lean my way You say my name, then lose your place Your pulse keeps time against my wrist I count the seconds you resist [Pre-Chorus] Come nearer Not yet Your pupils widen when the room turns strange I know the shape your wanting takes [Chorus] Stay while the signal slips Stay while the ceiling bends Say you can feel me changing Say you can feel me changing I am the hand you reach for in the dark I am the ache that keeps your body awake [Verse 2] You leave your earrings on my windowsill Then swear you never came inside I taste the lie before you speak Your hands are shaking, so are mine [Pre-Chorus] Come closer Too close I hear your heartbeat through the wall You call it danger; I call it ours [Chorus] Stay while the signal slips Stay while the ceiling bends Say you can feel me breaking Say you can feel me breaking I am the hand you reach for in the dark I am the ache that keeps your body awake [Bridge] Tell me you’re leaving Tell me again I’ll keep the last breath you gave me Under my tongue [Final Chorus] Stay while the signal slips Stay while the ceiling bends Say you can feel me fading Say you can feel me fading I am the hand you reach for in the dark I am the ache that keeps your body awake [Outro] Still here Still yours You hear me where the walls come apart
