Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you were here in the morning,
I’d keep you under the covers.
No calls, no plans—
Just skin on skin and nothin’ above us.
I’d trace that back with a purpose,
Move slow, make you nervous.
The light hits right on your body,
But I still feel like I deserve it.

[Pre-Chorus]
No talk, just touch,
You know what this is.
Breath on your shoulder,
Your name on my lips.

[Chorus]
But you’re not here,
So I grip this pillow tight.
Wanna text you wild things,
But I keep it in outta spite.
I see you there—
Hair a mess, lips parted too,
If the morning had you wrapped in me,
Not blankets or deja vu.

And damn,
This distance hit different when I want you bad—
That cruel kind of beautiful
That drives a man mad.

[Verse 2]
I’d wake you up with my mouth,
Not a single word said.
Let you ride that high
While you sink in my bed.
Time slow, vibe deep,
You forget how to breathe.
I remember your sounds,
Like a secret you leave.

[Pre-Chorus]
Lights low, your voice—
A drug in my head.
I’d write my name on your body,
Like you’re mine ‘til I’m dead.

[Chorus]
But you’re not here,
So I’m caught in my own mind.
All these damn fantasies
Ain’t treating me kind.
I picture you—
Eyes low, still tasting me too,
If morning found you next to me,
Not lost in the view.

And damn,
That cruel kind of beautiful
Still pulling me through.

[Bridge]
Say the word, I’m on that flight—
You know distance ain’t a fight.
Dreams ain’t enough,
I need your hands in real time.

[Final Chorus]
But you’re not here…
So I drown in what we could be.
Typing texts I’ll never send,
Craving things you’ll never see.
You in my sheets,
You in this beat—
You’re the reason I don’t sleep.

And damn,
That cruel kind of beautiful
Still got its hold on me.
