[Verse 1 - low, breathy, close-mic] Candle between us, wine going warm You talk, and I watch your mouth make the words Three feet of table, a mile of wanting My knee keeps finding the edge of the wood [Pre-Chorus] You say "tell me what you want" And I answer with the weather... [Chorus] Your words have hands They cross the table slow Find the pulse inside my wrist Leave me lit and trembling We're only talking But I'm flushed from your voice Your words have hands And you know exactly where they've been [Verse 2] You turn your glass, a slow half circle Eyes on mine, a little too long Your voice drops low on my name Like a thumb dragged down the inside of my thigh [Pre-Chorus] You say "you're quiet tonight" And I'm burning in my chair [Chorus] Your words have hands They cross the table slow Find the pulse inside my wrist Leave me lit and trembling We're only talking But I'm flushed from your voice Your words have hands And you know exactly where they've been [Bridge - whispered, then building] You lean in, just to say something small Your breath on the air between us Every vowel a fingertip Every pause a held-back kiss Two inches of nothing Louder than anything we'll say [Final Chorus - slow, aching, almost moaning] Your words have hands They have me, every slow inch Under the table, under my skin Leave me undone and shaking We're only talking But I'm ruined by your voice Your words have hands And I'm yours in every way, but one [Outro - whispered, fading to breath] (breath) You ask for the check... ...and I watch you walk away
