Pull Me Under

[Intro] You draw a circle on the table with your glass Say my name like you already know the past I lean in close; the room tilts on its side Your quiet little dare has nowhere left to hide [Verse 1] Your red dress catches on the chair One black curl slips loose beside your ear The ice turns slowly in your drink You smile before you let me think [Pre-Chorus] Come nearer, let the whole room turn Say nothing—let the silence burn Your hand finds mine beneath the light And every careful thought takes flight [Chorus] Pull me under, keep me close Say the thing you almost chose Mouth to mouth and breath to breath Take the night down to its depth Pull me under, don’t let go Move me where the warm winds blow If we’re lost before the dawn Let the wanting carry on [Verse 2] The door swings wide; the warm air rolls A brass bell shakes above the bar You trace one line across my palm I feel it travel through my arms [Pre-Chorus] Come nearer, let the whole room turn Say nothing—let the silence burn Your hand finds mine beneath the light And every careful thought takes flight [Chorus] Pull me under, keep me close Say the thing you almost chose Mouth to mouth and breath to breath Take the night down to its depth Pull me under, don’t let go Move me where the warm winds blow If we’re lost before the dawn Let the wanting carry on [Bridge] [Whispered] Tell me slowly Stay until the morning [Build] I was trying to leave I was counting the steps Then you turned, and the whole room Caught its breath [Final Chorus] Pull me under, keep me close Say the thing you almost chose Mouth to mouth and breath to breath Take the night down to its depth Pull me under, don’t let go Move me where the warm winds blow If we’re lost before the dawn Let the wanting carry on [Outro] Your glass is empty, still you stay The door swings shut; we miss the day
