It's getting a little obsessive, but somehow I like that
Sinking into crevices of sound
Every breath, how their fingers slide up the frets
And I slide down
So I fall asleep to the same song for the hundredth time
Hold the beauty as if it were mine
Your gaze says it's unhealthy but
I'm lost in the poetic phrases of Local Natives
And I can see the stripes of light
On imaginary bodies in imaginary rooms, I'm there
And I slide down
So I fall asleep to the same song for the hundredth time
Hold the beauty as if it were mine
Take a ride
So I'm blinking slow and I'm breathing in the gaps of the words
Finding meanings in the bass line
Finding meanings in the bass line
Somehow I just like the enfolding, I find it protective
This cocoon of vast, unchanging sound
In my hand and my head
In my bones and my blood and I'm singing
As I slide down
So I fall asleep to the same song for the hundredth time
Hold the beauty as if it were mine
Take a ride
So I'm blinking slow and I'm breathing in the gaps of the words
Finding meanings in the bass line
Finding meanings in the bass line
(Echoes of chorus)
And now it's wrapped round my head
This song is everything, my waking life, my dream
And now I get panicked texts
I hope that you're ok, reply you're not insane
And now four thousand more times
Your listening history is fucking scaring me
And now four thousand more times
So I fall asleep to the same song for the hundredth time
Hold the beauty as if it were mine
Take a ride
So I'm blinking slow and I'm breathing in the gaps of the words
Finding meanings in the bass line
Finding meanings in the bass line
