lyrics

When I woke up to the melody of my phone
I saw it was you
I felt like 10 exuberant dogs jumping
after hearing the doorbell
You wanted to see me
I tried to act casually but something felt different in our bond
20 dresses later I walked into the bar and ooh
What is this connection
High voltage lightning electrifies us both,
the sparks fly around us
Can we move the borders can we tear them apart
with just a little more wine

Sitting beside you
trying to say something
but I can only stammer like like like
I answer your stories with nice nice nice nice
Nice that you do everything that I’d never do
No no no keep me waiting keep me hanging
in any position you’d like your marionette
I’m so tired of being lost in love
But my feet always walk back to you
What is this connection
High voltage lightning electrifies us both,
the sparks fly around us
Can we move the borders can we tear them apart
with just a little more wine

Running cheerfully behind your white horse
Tons of energy and the wind at my back
Running for hours and hours
Then I noticed I lost sight of you
Should I keep on running
even if can’t keep up with you,
or should I run away and risk losing
these feelings and that a part of me dies

What is it I like about you
What is it I admire
Maybe something that I have
to integrate more in my life
Researching my feelings
Diggin deeper to find meanings
Thank you for helping me open this new door
Thank you for giving me the flow to write this song
Let’s meet again underneath the pedestal
But for now I’m going back
home
