She's like your first breath after years underwater
She fell like an anchor
Thank goodness you caught her
She stumbles and whispers and starts your fire small
She opens her eyes and it feels like a secret
Her song patterned sighs become your greatest weakness
You're scared but you trust her
You're grounded and seeing stars
PRECHORUS
Don't know what you're doing and it is electric
Her hands on your chest and your lips on her necklace
Your sails take wind and carry you off to sea
And this is the first time you've opened your eyes
Her laughter's the meaning of being alive
It's all clear now
She's got you on your knees
I could only ever be your second love
If you could light your dark in just that place
You're like my first breath after years underwater
I fell like an anchor
It seems no one bothered
I'm buried and breathless and you are sailing free
You open your eyes and it feels like a secret
But you tell me nothing cause she's still your deepest
And I am an open book titled in your name
PRECHORUS
Don't know what I'm doing and I'm not elated
This isn't a mutual innocence take
I'm bare and you've built up walls
And this is the first time I've opened my eyes
I'm stunned by a view you have memorized
I am slipping and feeling small
I'm petite and your order's tall
