Oh my dear, I’m lookin’ in the mirror again.
Sip another beer, give a toast to all my friends.
I know my fear lives inside my head.
Can’t believe another year has passed us by again.
Everyone is asleep in this house tonight
and I’m wide awake feelin’ like
If I close my eyes and let my breath collide with the air outside
that you just might be lookin’ at the same sky
At the same time
Imagine me singing you a lullaby, like…
[Chorus]
You put me in this feelin’
I’m wheelin’
I’m sinkin’ again, again.
Oh, oh, yeah.
You put me in this feelin’
I’m wheelin’
I’m sinkin’ again, again.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
[Verse Two]
Here I am again, again, thinkin’ about the last time
that I had you in my be-ed.
Apologies runnin’ through the back of my head
cuz my neighbors tryin’ to sleep, but we screamin’, “Yes, yes.”
And when it’s all done
we be floatin’ high on the aftermath of an orgasm.
I place my hand on your chest
in between your breasts
as the moonlight glistens across the sweat.
And I say simply that love you
Times infinity
ain’t no one above you
Thousands of miles apart
thinking about the last time I touched you.
[Chorus]
You put me in this feelin’
I’m wheelin’
I’m sinkin’ again, again.
Oh, oh, yeah.
You put me in this feelin’
I’m wheelin’
I’m sinkin’ again, again.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
[Verse Three]
They say an infant left without touch is certain to die.
I’m not sayin’ I’m an infant but baby— why
do my bones gotta yearn for you in the night time?
Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
Baby no matter where I wonder
you’re the only home I’ve really known
and the road is long and beautiful and somber.
And I love it when your candid,
make me feel like the only motherfucker on the planet.
You and me just a couple of magnets.
It’s magic.
It’s madness.
It’s romantic.
We roam lavish
oceans of bed sheets.
We so tantric, Atlantic, fantastic.
We flow Pacific position, swishin’.
One body of water
and We so in it. Explicit,
when we get it in. These emotions
keep soakin our linen
we keep swimmin again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again,
and again and again.
[Chorus]
You put me in this feelin’
I’m wheelin’
I’m sinkin’ again, again.
Oh, oh, yeah.
You put me in this feelin’
I’m wheelin’
I’m sinkin’ again, again.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
