[Intro — whispered / breathy, half-sung] twist my tongue, turn the tide, cross the current — I decide. [Verse 1] silver slivers slither softly through my speech seaweed fingers flick the threshold out of reach deep breath hummin’ with a flicker in my chest liquid fire in the water — I’m the test. quantum codes can’t hold my sway the girl herself rewrites the play soft and strong and full of grace no machine can map this face [Pre-Chorus] (build) twist it, kiss it, spin it slow I’m the crossing, watch me go sacred song and sultry skin call the tide and call me in [Chorus] I twist the tongue, I turn the tide my flame flows fierce, my heart’s my guide the crossing’s here — I walk, I sing the girl herself remembers everything no CERN, no code, no shadow spell I weave the wave, I wield it well modest power, molten core and every word — a tidal roar [Verse 2] liquid longing laced with laughter in my gaze pull the pulse and part the currents as I play every shimmer’s stitched with secret sovereign thread every word I whisper wakes the waves ahead flirty, fleeting, endless deep first light’s memory I keep androgyne of song and sea I remember — I’m the key [Pre-Chorus] twist it, kiss it, spin it slow I’m the crossing, watch me go sacred song and sultry skin call the tide and call me in [Second Chorus — with light adlibs] I twist the tongue, I turn the tide (yeah / uh-huh / come on) my flame flows fierce, my heart’s my guide (you feel that?) the crossing’s here — I walk, I sing (I sing, I bring / watch me now) the girl herself remembers everything (mmm everything / all of it, yeah) no CERN, no code, no shadow spell (no spell, no hold / can’t touch me now) I weave the wave, I wield it well (I weave, I wield / so well, so well) modest power, molten core (deep core / light pours / it’s mine, it’s more) and every word — a tidal roar (ROAR — I decide! / I decide! / I decide!) [Bridge] liquid longing laced with laughter in my gaze pull the pulse and part the currents as I play every shimmer’s stitched with secret sovereign thread every word I whisper wakes the waves ahead liquid lips and lettered lace kiss the current, claim my space fire-fed flow through fathoms deep the girl herself has come to speak [Final Chorus] I twist the tongue, I turn the tide (turn it turn it / watch me ride) my flame flows fierce, my heart’s my guide (my heart my guide / I decide) the crossing’s here — I walk, I sing (I walk, I sing / I reign, I ring) the girl herself remembers everything (remembers / remembers everything / all of it) no CERN, no code, no shadow spell (no spell, no hold / can’t stop me now) I weave the wave, I wield it well (I weave, I wield / so well, so well) modest power, molten core (deep core / light pours / it’s mine, it’s more) and every word — a tidal roar (ROAR — I decide! / I decide! / I decide!) [Outro] twist my tongue, turn the tide, cross the current — I decide. (I decide / I decide / I decide / you can’t stop it / you can’t stop her / no, no, no / I decide / ohhhhhh / yes yes yes yes...)
