lyrics

Lay here with me
We are cradled, we are new
Cupped hands in the sink
Running water as we move
Phantom feeling
On my flesh where you drew
If you allow me
I’ll sink into you

Am I a deep sea dreamer or a floating celestial body?

Shimmy up melt down
I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now
Melt down shimmy up
-side down and I just can’t get enough

Stars in New Mexico
I am falling for the road
Cycling through the moons
In my dollar dancing shoes
Lightning in my bones
I don’t know where I’m going

Am I a deep sea dreamer or a floating celestial body?

Shimmy up melt down
I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now
Melt down shimmy up
-side down and I just can’t get enough

Cycling through the moons in my dollar dancing shoes
If you allow me to I will sink with you
(4x)

Shimmy up melt down
I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now
Melt down shimmy up
-side down, oh
Shimmy up melt down
I don’t know what’s up with gravity right now
Melt down shimmy up
-side down and I just can’t get enough
