V6

[Verse 1] I don't want a movie. I want your actual hands. The cracked bowl in the sink, your hair in the band. I want the small undoing, the truth under skin. Not the door left open — the room that we're in. [Pre-Chorus] So come closer, let the world go thin. I am tired of pretending this hunger is a sin. [Chorus] I want to make love make love make love to the living thing in you I want to make love make love make love till our names feel new [Verse 2] I want the tremble before the brave kiss. I want your breath to say what language missed. Not conquest, not rescue, not a crown, not a war. Just two open palms and the shape of a door. [Pre-Chorus] So come closer, let the world go thin. I am tired of pretending this hunger is a sin. [Chorus] I want to make love make love make love to the living thing in you I want to make love make love make love till our names feel new [Bridge] If the body is a chapel, then I was made to kneel. If the heart is a wound, then I want to feel. Not to take from you — to be taken apart. I want your whole silence and the key to your heart. [Chorus] I want to make love make love make love to the living thing in you I want to make love make love make love till our names feel new
