Volcano

[Intro] [Thunder rolls, distant choir hums, synths pulse like a warning] Feel that rumble under my skin tonight, Something's rising and I can't sit right. It ain't the summer, it ain't the room, It's a whole lot simpler, baby — it's you. [orchestral music break] [Verse 1] You tie up your hair and you don't even know, You just set something off way down below. Morning in my shirt with your coffee cup, Barefoot in the kitchen — that's how it starts up. You say "good morning" like it's innocent talk, Meanwhile I can't stand right, can't remember how to walk. You laugh at my joke and you lean on my chest, Girl, you're gonna be the reason I don't pass this test. [instrumental break] [Pre-Chorus] Every little glance turns into a spark, Every little curve leaves a mark in the dark. I can hold it down for a second or two, Then the cap starts rattling and it's coming through. (It's coming through) [Chorus] I'm a volcano, volcano, I'm about to erupt, shoot my lava to the sky. Volcano, volcano, One more smile and it's over — don't ask me why. I'm a volcano, volcano, Held it in so long, now it's rising high. Volcano, volcano, When you walk in the room, everybody knows why. [electric guitar music solo] [orchestral music break] [Verse 2] You spin in that dress, ask me "is this too much?" And the ground starts shifting underneath us. I said "you look nice" with a steady face, Meanwhile the whole island's shaking in place. On the floor you pull me in close, Bass in the ground and your hand on my coat. You whisper something sweet I could never repeat, Now I'm counting down backwards just to keep my seat. (Ooh) Then the ride home and your hand on my knee, Girl, you got no idea what you're doing to me. Twenty more minutes, twenty more miles, Twenty little tremors and a whole lot of smiles. [instrumental break] [Pre-Chorus] Every little glance turns into a spark, Every little curve leaves a mark in the dark. I can hold it down for a second or two, Then the cap starts rattling and it's coming through. (It's coming through) [Chorus] I'm a volcano, volcano, I'm about to erupt, shoot my lava to the sky. Volcano, volcano, One more smile and it's over — don't ask me why. I'm a volcano, volcano, Held it in so long, now it's rising high. Volcano, volcano, When you walk in the room, everybody knows why. [Bridge] It ain't the sun and it ain't the city heat, It ain't the stranger walking down the street. It's you — just you — in a t-shirt and a grin, Turning a good, patient man into a mountain again. (Oh!) Too in love for a prayer, too gone for a plan, Like a red-hot rhythm in the palm of your hand. If I look calm, don't trust that face — I'm one soft kiss from all over the place. [Breakdown] [Choir chants rise, guitars grind, brass blasts] [electric guitar shredding] Volcano... volcano... (I'm gonna blow, I'm gonna blow) Volcano... volcano... (Hold it in, hold it in — girl, I can't hold it in) [Final Chorus] I'm a volcano, volcano, I'm about to erupt, shoot my lava to the sky. Volcano, volcano, One more smile and it's over — don't ask me why. I'm a volcano, volcano, Held it in so long, now it's rising high. Volcano, volcano, When you walk in the room, everybody knows why. Volcano, volcano, Hear that thunder, feel that glow. Volcano, volcano, I erupt... then I hold you 'til it's slow. (whoo) [fast electric guitar solo with orchestral hits] [Outro] [Back to a simmer, embers crackle] Mmm... Come stand real close when I start to shine, It's a beautiful mess and the mess is all mine. Take your time, girl, we got all night, Then watch me blow... then watch me reignite. Only you... Volcano... [Orchestral hits till finish]
