Heard a secret and 
Saw you smilin' 
So convincing 
You're so beguiling 
Leave me breathless and 
I can't think straight at all

Cold as starlight
You sting like sunburn 
Searching blindfold you 
Melt my fingers 
Summer bleeds for you 
Testifies 

Ultrafervor 
Head to toe 
Sensitizes 
Burns and glows 
Helter Swelter 
Sweet and Slow 
Avalanche 
Avalanche 
Avalanche 

Heard a secret and
Saw you smilin' 
So convincing
You're so beguiling
Leave me breathless and
I can't think straight at all

Damburst drowning
Your favourite feelings
Avalanches that chill all healing
Spurning Indigo
Celebrate

Ultrafervor
Head to toe
Sensitizes 
Burns and glows 
Helter Swelter 
Sweet and Slow 
Avalanche

Sweet and Slow
