Like I was there.

Lyrics

[TITLE: LIKE I WAS THERE] [INTRO] touch… touch… like a… there… there… ah… ah… [VERSE 1] faded lights flicker on wet glass roads neon bleeding where the river folds i saw your face in a sudden glare it felt like i was there not in the room not in the air not in the body but almost there you moved through the heat skin slick, electric, a half-kept dare and it felt like i was there like i… like i… there… there… [PRE-CHORUS] something in the pressure something in the stare something in the way you knew before i knew to care i did not say your name you did not turn around but every little pulse in me started making sound started making sound making sound [CHORUS] touch me like a rumour skin on skin whisper where the secrets all begin floating on the heat and the summer air it felt like i was there almost like i was there touch me like a rumour slow, then near say it like a secret i should not hear moving through the dark with the lights laid bare it felt like i was there like i was right there [POST-CHORUS] like i was there almost there like i was there right there touch me… like a… like i was… there… [DROP] touch me… touch me… rumour… rumour… there… there… [VERSE 2] sounds in the hallway, muffled bass heels on tile in a hollow space shadows stretch in the amber light breathing slow in the velvet night i felt the floor vibrate through me low-end thrum in my chest, moving me in the silence of a velvet prayer it felt like i was there your hand was close heat just off mine fingers grazing the edge of time i knew too much from just one look like the whole night opened never shut never shut [PRE-CHORUS 2] something in the pressure something in the stare something in the way you held the heat between us there i did not need an answer i did not need the truth i only needed one more second in the pull of you in the pull of you pull of you [CHORUS] touch me like a rumour skin on skin whisper where the secrets all begin floating on the heat and the summer air it felt like i was there almost like i was there touch me like a rumour slow, then near say it like a secret i should not hear moving through the dark with the lights laid bare it felt like i was there like i was right there [POST-CHORUS] like i was there almost there like i was there right there touch… touch… rumour… rumour… like i… like i… there… there… [BREAKDOWN] touch me like a rumour say it like you mean it say it like you do not know say it like you know warmth in the deep hum pulse in the eardrum rumour… touch me… touch me… rumour… not quite memory not quite skin not quite over not back in not quite wanting not quite free not quite you not quite me not quite me not quite me [BUILD] touch me… like a… touch me… like a… like i was… like i was… [DROP 2] touch me… rumour… there… it felt like i was there almost like i was there like i was right there it felt like i was there there there there [FINAL CHORUS] touch me like a rumour skin on skin whisper where the secrets all begin floating on the heat and the summer air it felt like i was there almost like i was there touch me like a rumour slow, then near say it like a secret i should not hear moving through the dark with the lights laid bare it felt like i was there like i was right there [FINAL POST-CHORUS] like i was there almost there like i was there right there touch me like a rumour almost there touch me like a rumour like i was right there touch me like a rumour almost there touch me like a rumour like i was right there [OUTRO] touch… touch… rumour… like a… there… it felt like i was there ah… ah… touch… rumour… there… [END]
