I wanna be a slow fire
Not too hot, but always brighter
Than all of the others, than all of your worries
So, when shit gets heavy, you'll know where to find me
I wanna be open
Like a drugstore whenever you need some
Stronger than Valium, and stronger than Lithium
So, when it gets heavy, you can fly right to me
I wanna be that light switch that never goes off
Or that tight skirt that never stays on
I wanna be the gardener or the painter of your daydreams
So, when shit gets heavy, we already made our scene
I wanna be with you in the mornings
Kissing your eyelids and thinking of breakfast
I want you there catching me so selfish
For all of my staring, well, I can't help it
I've written lots of lines, not many for you yet
Just give me some time and I'll give you my best
I want you to go wherever you'll go
Just don't be an island, let me be your coast
Oh, I could be your ocean, just let me get close!
You could sail the seas and I'd keep you afloat
I wanna be near you tasting the salt
Uncorking the bottles from letters you wrote
Just let me get close. Just let me get close!
I wanna be your coast
Just let me get close. Just let me get close!
I wanna be your coast
I wanna be the heat in your coffee
Or the sugar, dissolving
I wanna be a slow fire
Burning bright so you'll know where to find me
