[Verse 1] I order the cake before the candles arrive One fork, then another, I call it a night You say, “Take the last piece,” I say, “I’m all right” Then scrape up the cream when you turn out the light [Pre-Chorus] A little feels easy, a little feels free Till the little starts making decisions for me [Chorus] Give me the sweetness, give me the kiss Give me the thing that I swear I won’t miss I want it, I want it—then count what it cost A feast in my hands, and a line getting crossed [Verse 2] Your coat on my chair, your key by the door We make up at midnight, then make up some more I tap “buy now” on a bright little screen By morning the parcel’s a debt in a dream [Pre-Chorus] A little feels easy, a little feels free Till the little starts making decisions for me [Chorus] Give me the sweetness, give me the kiss Give me the thing that I swear I won’t miss I want it, I want it—then count what it cost A feast in my hands, and a line getting crossed [Bridge] So leave me one bite, leave me one breath Let wanting be wanting, not all that I get [Final Chorus] Give me the sweetness, give me the kiss I can say yes without drowning in it I want it, I want it, and still I can choose A life with some savor, some room left to lose
