Lyrics from Derivakat's Twitch stream (November 18, 2024)

[Intro]
(Hmm-mm, hmm-mm-mm-mm, mm)
(Hmm-mm, hmm-mm-mm-mm)

[Verse 1]
The right words are living on the tip of my tongue
But the oxygen just never seems to reach my lungs
The paper’s blank, but our story's just begun
Rehearsing love songs in my head, but they are still unsung

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hmm-mm) I'm not a poet
(Hmm-mm) I’m not a writer
(Hmm-mm) My body never learned to show my love that way (Hmm-mm-mm-mm)
(Hmm-mm) But this unheard language
(Hmm-mm) Has a broken cypher
(Hmm-mm) A silent voice that calls your name out every day

[Chorus]
I want you like (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
I need you like (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
'Cause you are my (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
I lovе you like (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I'm not a thesaurus, I can't find the turn of phrasе (Turn of phrase)
Like a dictionary searching for the right words to say
Before I embarrass myself with what I try to convey (Try to convey)
I'm freezing up with feelings left there unexplained

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hmm-mm) 'Cause I'm not a poet
(Hmm-mm) I never was a writer
(Hmm-mm) My body never learned to show my love that way (Hmm-mm-mm-mm)
(Hmm-mm) But this unheard language
(Hmm-mm) Has a broken cypher
(Hmm-mm) A silent voice that calls your name out every day

[Chorus]
I want you like (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
I need you like (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
'Cause you are my (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
I love you like (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
You fracture me into an anomaly
My desperation waiting for a chance to break free
A lifetime of love used inside my head
Building worlds out of all of these words I haven’t said
[Chorus]
(I will) So I’ll want you like (Want you; oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
(I will) I'll need you like (Need you; oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
(I will) ’Cause you are my (Want you; oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
(I will) I love you like (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Outro]
(Hmm, mm-mm, hmm-mm)
(Hmm, mm-mm, hmm-mm)
