[Verse 1] I keep a matchbook in my coat Though I swore off fire You call my name from down the road And I walk through the briar Your hands are rain on my dry skin Your kiss is winter glass I want the door, I want it shut Then I reach for the latch [Pre-Chorus] I say, “Go on, go on” Then I lean in closer I bite my tongue And ask for more, oh [Chorus] I want you near I want you gone I chase the spark Then sing along Paradox of desire Paradox of desire Hold me tight Then let me run [Verse 2] I split the peach and save the pit Like I’m saving a fight I laugh too loud when you get close Then I miss you at night I pin my hope to a crooked fence It bends, but it stands I build a nest from every vow Then shake it from my hands [Pre-Chorus] I say, “Go on, go on” Then I lean in closer I bite my tongue And ask for more, oh [Chorus] I want you near I want you gone I chase the spark Then sing along Paradox of desire Paradox of desire Hold me tight Then let me run [Bridge] Maybe that’s the way I’m made A tide that pulls and breaks I reach for what can scorch my palms Then beg for what it takes So if you see me at your gate Don’t ask which side I’m on I’m half a plea, half a leaving Till the morning comes along [Final Chorus] I want you near I want you gone I chase the spark Then sing along Paradox of desire Paradox of desire Hold me tight Then let me run Hold me tight Then let me run
