Don’t turn the light on I like you better in blue When I can hear every little breath Before it touches you Tick—tick Tip of your tongue Click—click Nowhere to run You’re standing so close Your jacket brushes mine Your shadow keeps moving One beat ahead of time I follow the heat I follow the sound You don’t have to catch me I want to be found Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere No-where, no-where, no Now here, now here, now here Say it fast and I appear Nowhere-now-here Nowhere-now-here No-where-now-here I’m already near Never, never, never, never Nev-er, nev-er, ever, ever Say “never” fast enough And it turns into forever Never-ever-never-ever Ever-never-ever-ever You swore it from the corner Now it’s circling back around Fall Down-down-down-down D-d-d-drown in the sound Round-round-round-round Let the bass turn me around Touch-touch-touch-touch Tuh-tuh-tuh—trust Rush-rush-rush-rush Ruh-ruh-ruh—us Touch until it sounds like trust Trust until there’s only us Us-us-us-us-us Hush-hush-hush—then rush Nowhere-now-here Nowhere-now-here No-where, now-here You’re everywhere Nowhere-now-here Nowhere-now-here Say it in my ear And the walls pull back Your voice leaves fingerprints Underneath my skin Every little syllable Lets another signal in Don’t tell me what this is Don’t break it with a name Just breathe across my shoulder And let me do the same Low-low-low-low A-low, alone Alone-alone-alone A low tone in my bones Mine-mine-mine-mine My-my, time Time-time-time-time Your pulse is wearing mine Feel it, feel it, feel it Fee-lit, fill it, feel Say it till the word dissolves And only leaves the real Again-again-again A gain, a gain Every time you leave I want the loss again Away-away-away A wave, a wave Say “away” until it rises Like a wave beneath the bass Away-away-a-wave Away-away-a-wave Carry me across the dark And break me on the rave Do you hear how words change When you want them too much? Want-want-want-want One-one-one-one Want becomes one And two becomes us One-one-one-one Won-won-won You already won Before the night begun Night-night-night-night Near-near-near-near Repeat it till the ceiling Starts to spell your name Near-near-near-near Knee-knee, need Near becomes need When your body follows me Need-need-need-need Knead it in the beat Press it through my heartbeat Until the rhythm speaks Nowhere, now here No fear, come near Never, ever Stay forever Nowhere, now here Your breath in my ear Never, ever Fade away Closer Closer-closer Closer-closer-closer Close-close-clothes— Closer Over Over-over Over-over-over Oh-ver, oh-ver— Over me Faster Faster-faster Fast-her, fast-her Past her, past her Back to me If I say your name too slowly I remember who you are If I say it faster, faster You become a beating heart If I hold this second gently It will vanish with the light So I repeat it till forever Fits inside a single night Night-night-night-night Light-light-light-light Night-light, night-light Keep me burning bright Heart-heart-heart-heart Hard-hard-hard-hard My pulse hits the floorboards Till the words come apart Nowhere-now-here Nowhere-now-here No-where-now-here I need you near Never-ever-never-ever Ever-ever-ever-ever “Never” lost its first letter Now it only says “ever” Touch-touch-tuh-tuh-trust Rush-rush-ruh-ruh-us Touch becomes trust And trust becomes us Us-us-us-us-us S-s-s-s-hush Hush becomes rush When the kick comes up Nowhere—now here Nowhere—now here I was nowhere Now I’m here Never—ever Never—ever We were nowhere Now we’re here Say it again
