Close Enough to Undo Me

[Verse 1] Your coat is folded on the chair A trace of rain still darkens the sleeve I tell myself the room is cold But you are the only thing I need [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands beneath the table As if that could make them still Every quiet second with you Is a match against my will [Chorus] I want you close enough to undo me Skin to skin, no place to hide You are the sweetness and the danger The fever I keep folded inside If loving you is how I break Then let the breaking run its course I have no prayer against this wanting No softer way to want you more [Verse 2] Your laugh slips through the kitchen door And turns the ordinary strange I watch the steam rise from your cup And feel my careful heart rearrange [Pre-Chorus] I say your name as if it’s harmless Then swallow what I meant to say You look at me and all my good sense Gives its ground and falls away [Chorus] I want you close enough to undo me Skin to skin, no place to hide You are the sweetness and the danger The fever I keep folded inside If loving you is how I break Then let the breaking run its course I have no prayer against this wanting No softer way to want you more [Bridge] If you asked me to leave, I’d go With your name still under my tongue If you asked me to stay, I know I’d be yours before you’d begun [Final Chorus] I want you close enough to undo me Skin to skin, let the whole world wait You are the sweetness and the danger The open door I’m scared to take If loving you is how I break Then let the breaking be my choice I have no prayer against this wanting Only this unsteady voice [Outro] Your coat is folded on the chair And I’m still here, wanting more
