Lush

[Verse 1] I let you play with me for a while Touch the fire and call it mine You love the way I slip through your hands Like silk at night Like water after wine You watch me like I’m something rare Half temptation, half unanswered prayer And every time you think you know my name I change my shape again [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look so surprised You opened the door I never asked permission before [Chorus] You wanna keep me But I was never made to stay You wanna lead me While I’m dancing the other way I can be gentle I can ruin your perfect plans And you still reach for me Every chance you can [Verse 2] Sometimes I let you hold the wheel Just to watch you forget what’s real You call it power You call it fate Baby, I just like the taste I let you think you’re in control While I’m growing underneath your bones And when you say “I choose, I decide” I’m already changing your mind [Pre-Chorus] I don’t break down doors I wait till you do Then I move right through you [Chorus] You wanna keep me But I was never made to stay You wanna tame me But I was born to drift away I can be tender I can swallow kingdoms whole And you still follow me Like I’m the only road [Bridge] I let you play with me for a while And you know I kinda enjoy it, so I let you But I’m the one drawing the line You can’t control me ’Cause I’m the one Who placed the remote In your hands For a little while [Breakdown] One day I’m honey on your lips Next day I’m a storm you can’t resist You call me cruel You call me divine But you never leave me behind [Finale – stripped down] You fear me Because you can’t hold me still You love me Because deep down You know you were made for me too Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am? (pause, then a flirtatious female laugh, then a firm "Life") … Life. Life Life
