I know it hurts
You know I’d quench that thirst
(I can treat you better than the)
You say you're lonely
I say you'll think about it
Cause you're the only
One who resonates that chaste, mouth open like (High)

Higher than a motherfucker, dreaming of it, it's my lovin' (High)
Flying like a stream of thunder, only way to do each other (High)
Pull out the insides and give me two weeks, you won’t recognize her
Mouth open, you're high

I know it hurts
You know I'd put you first
(I can f*ck you better, better)
You say you want me
I say you'll live without it
Unless you're the only
One who instigates, got your mouth, open your heart

Higher than a motherfucker, dreaming of it, it's my lovin' (High)
Flying like a stream of thunder, only way to do each other (High)
Pull out the insides and give me two weeks, you won’t recognize her
Mouth open, you're high

Feel your body closing, I can rip it open
Suck me up, I'm healing for the shit you're dealing
Smoke on your skin to get those pretty eyes rolling
My thighs are apart for when you’re ready to breathe in
Suck me up, I'm healing with all the shit you're dealing
Motherfucker, get your mouth open, you know you’re mine

I’d put you first, just close your eyes and dream about it
Higher than a motherfucker dreaming of it, it’s my lovin’
I’ll quench your thirst, just get so high and stop your doubting
Flying like a stream of thunder, only way to do each other (High)

Higher than a motherfucker, dreaming of it, it's my lovin' (High)
Flying like a stream of thunder, only way to do each other (High)
Pull out the insides and give me two weeks, you won’t recognize her
Mouth open, you're high
