lyrics

Touch the Riff

Standing in the shower in the morning
I noticed that I loved myself and I loved the day
and of course it's cause I love the way you say
"you're so Beautiful"
and I thought : "what am I afraid of?"
why not just take the risk, touch the riff
and try to find the song
that I've been keeping waiting,
don't I know there's nothing there to lose?
it's all just luck, the future's only fiction
the ending of the story isn't written

and we play this game
where we say "let's buy that house
and have some kids and build a life
and be a husband and a wife"
but we're just kidding
so it's safe there
we can say the thing and taste the cake
but leave it in the fridge and feel
the weight of great potential minus tension

yet conversely when it comes to
I L O V E Y O U
tension is is the branch that lets it ripen
til it's bursting with sweetness, joy and life

and it's sweetest when it's known
but it's left unspoken
that's ok, we say it anyway,
we are unafraid.

go ahead and say it if you love me
you can see it's obvious I love you too
but it's also fun to just hold it in our lungs
and feel it swell there

I can feel it, the benevolent buoyant anchor
rising in my chest and in my throat and in my mouth
and my damp smiling eyes
but it weakens in the moment that it hits the air
that heavy deep word just blows away like the steam
off a weak cup of coffee
so we hold it, we say "I like you"
and it's so much fun to just feel it on our tongues
and let it melt there

hold it on your tongue for me
hold it in your lungs for me
cause you know we can just smile
and feel the tickling of the strings
stretched vibrating between us
