Tear me open at the seams

Take everything you need

Take my heart if you like the beat

Take my lungs if it’s hard

to breathe to breathe

Verse 1

“I’m not cold” she said

But she’s shaking

As she’s lying next to me naked

Pulled the hair back from her face

To let that smile heat this place

And this feels so far from real

I’m lost and I love it

Refrain

I can’t take it

If you’re waiting

I am ready to tell the world

About a girl who showed me

Love again for the first time

And it’s everything I dreamed of

Chorus 1

Tell me what you thought about

When you were breathing oh so loud

Screaming oh so loud

Tell me if this is real

I need to know before

I get too close

Verse 2

So here we lie in this beautiful mess

Of tangled sheets and beads of sweat

With my heart in your hand

My neck in the other

Should I be scared or

should I come closer?

But it’s still beating

and I'm still breathing

You haven’t hurt me yet

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 2

Tell me what you thought about

When you were breathing oh so loud

Screaming oh so loud

Tell me if this is real

I need to know before

I get too close

Bridge

Morning always

comes too quick

When you’re around

When you’re around

You leave me lying here

So they don’t find us out

They’ll find us out

Tear me open at the seams

Take everything you need

Take my heart if

you like the beat

Take my lungs if

it’s hard to breathe

to breathe

(Repeat Refrain 1)

Refrain 2

I can’t take it

If you’re waiting

I am ready to tell the world

About a girl who showed me

Love again for the first time
