[Verse 1] Your mouth found mine beside the kitchen sink A bright, sweet spark before I had time to think By morning, your small laugh lived under my tongue And my pulse kept the rhythm of the songs you’d sung [Pre-Chorus] We called it a fever, we called it a dare Then your heartbeat answered from somewhere in there [Chorus] Kiss me till the old parts loosen Till my heart forgets its own name Your blood is learning my seasons My lungs are breathing your flame It hurts where the borders are breaking It’s joy with a tooth in the seam I love you past what I was made of Come closer—come apart with me [Verse 2] Your left hand woke with a scar like mine My ribs made room for a second spine The doctor said, “Your bodies don’t agree” But your borrowed breath kept reaching for me [Pre-Chorus] My heart throws a fit when it hears your name Your heart does the same, and we call it a flame [Chorus] Kiss me till the old parts loosen Till my heart forgets its own name Your blood is learning my seasons My lungs are breathing your flame It hurts where the borders are breaking It’s joy with a tooth in the seam I love you past what I was made of Come closer—come apart with me [Bridge] I spit out a tooth; you catch it and grin You say, “That one was yours when we both came in” Now your pulse is the drum in my wrist And my eyes see the world through the shape of your kiss If our bodies refuse what our hearts have begun Let them fight till there’s only one beating as one [Final Chorus] Kiss me till the old parts loosen Till our hearts forget their own names Your blood is rewriting my seasons My lungs are breathing your flame It hurts where the borders are breaking Still I reach through the fever and seam I love you past what I was made of Come closer—come apart with me [Outro] Come closer—come apart with me One pulse, two names, and nowhere to be
