I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
Make you believe
Make you forget

[Chorus: x2]
Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
Make you believe
Make you forget

[Chorus: x2]

I feel the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and God when you come on
Hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on, yeah

Sing sha lalala
(sha lalala)
Sing sha lalala
(Aha lalala)
Sing sha lalala
(Aha lalala keep it going)
Sing sha lalala
(Come on get higher loosen my lips faith and desire)
Sing sha lalala
(And the swing of your hips just pull me down hard and drown me in love)
Sing sha lalala
(Come on get higher loosen my lips faith and desire)
Sing shalalala
(And the swing of your hips just pull me down hard and drown me in love)
Sing sha lalala

[Chorus: x2]

Drown me in love
Drown me in love
Drown me in love

Because everything works in your arms
