Something fearless in your eyes Something careless about your smile Something fragile when you hold your breath And when you move You move right through me Fingertips so gently on my skin I'm underwater I feel the flood begin Fingertips so gently on my skin You're taking over and over again Shed your armour Spin your web Hypnotise me with the longest stare Make your promise Or maybe it's a threat 'Cause when you look You look right through me We're flesh and bone Together and alone And we're looking for a home Silver moonlight fills the sky Calling gently to the evening tide You're unfolding right before my eyes And when you move You move right through me
