If I could just open my mouth
Tell you straight what I been thinking
Every night instead of making the rounds
I'm on the couch with the seats that sink in
If I could just hold your gaze
Instead of checking my goddamn phone
All the turns of all my phrases
Took me down the wrong road
We can scrape stuff out of mountains
To power this city
We've been screaming through outer space
Since the 60's
But I'm not brave enough to tell you how much you lit me up
You lit me
If could tell you true and plain
I want you in my blank space in my little black book
You'd make all the names erase
With all their blank faces and their little black looks
I'd type out every spark
I would light your screen with all my thinking
You love science I made art
Both work in a beautiful machine
We can scrape stuff out of mountains
To power this city
We've been screaming through outer space
Since the 60's
But I'm not brave enough to tell you how much you lit me up
You lit me
I feel like running away
This time I'm gonna tell you first
I feel like running away
Could you please go first?
We can scrape stuff out of mountains
To power this city
We've been screaming through outer space
Since the 60's
So I'll be brave enough to tell you how much you lit me up
You lit me
