you are the reason I’m sitting here laughing
at first I was stunned, but now it’s just funny
‘cause they’re showing you how, and they’re telling me not to
and something seems so strange ‘bout this very little big deal.

you are the compromise I’ve found to distill this
and I’m expecting a puddle of clear water soon
you stick your feet in and I take my clothes off
please hurry this up so we can slow down.

Chorus:
This is the size of the weather inside me
Here are the stains from this bloody love
Pressure could flatten the atmosphere
But the sky’s not to fear, when we are here all is clear.

so take this in ‘cause I’m feeling inspired
being alone with myself seems to take me off of the edge
well hunger is hiding, and pushing me past this
I dream about crashing but you keep on making me swerve.

and I am projecting this all onto you
please stand straight, please stand still, I wanna see what I’m saying
don’t talk and don’t leave, I want you silent and solid
I am plugged in, I am turned on, you are just simmering.

Chorus
