Counting Down The Dark

[Verse 1] You come in late Cloak on your shoulders Smell like rain And trouble Your hand at my waist Cold like a promise You lean in close And smirk You say, “Baby, I was busy” “With the moon and a ruined man” Then you kiss my wrist Like you own the night [Pre-Chorus] I look down You look hungry I blush red You grin wider You tell me every little hurt Every alley, every name And my heart goes Thump, thump [Chorus] Tell me more Tell me more I like the way you talk so mean Tell me more Tell me more Come closer, make me weak Bad boy, bite slow Bad boy, hold me close I’m shy, but I don’t say no When you look at me like that [Verse 2] You tell me You left a mess behind you A broken vow A locked door You say the city was loud So you took your time At the edge of some old church yard Counting down the dark Then you laugh All teeth and velvet Say you saved your best hunger For this room My fingers shake On your collar You catch them And kiss them still [Pre-Chorus] I breathe in You breathe out Like you’re trying Not to scare me But your eyes say You already know I’m yours If you ask [Chorus] Tell me more Tell me more I like the way you talk so mean Tell me more Tell me more Come closer, make me weak Bad boy, bite slow Bad boy, hold me close I’m shy, but I don’t say no When you look at me like that [Bridge] You say my name Like it’s dangerous Like one small word Could ruin you I swallow hard You smile at that And brush your thumb Across my mouth No need to rush You say it soft But your body says Come here [Final Chorus] Tell me more Tell me more I like the way you talk so mean Tell me more Tell me more Come closer, make me weak Bad boy, bite slow Bad boy, hold me close I’m shy, but I don’t say no When you look at me like that Tell me more Tell me more Moon on your mouth, and mine too Tell me more Tell me more I’m scared, but I want you
