Laura Stevenson
Lay Back, Arms Out
[Verse 1]
I'm a broken record
Come wriggle out from underneath me
Tied around the middle
Not incorrupt and rotting out
When you lift the lid I will be liquid
All swimming in my skin
[Chorus 1]
There's a sweetness to that
There's a sweetness to that
There's a sweetness to that
There's a sweetness to that
[Verse 2]
Bullish you are when you said I'm colorful
It's like you're trying to harm me
Aren't we now?
Foolish I was ever growing foolisher
Sticking in the salt until you cottonmouth
You're tired and you're dried out
[Chorus 2]
Two lovers on other islands
Two lovers on other islands
[Bridge]
The charts of all the stars you read
They make me feel illest at ease
The teasing blink of a plane
And now you cut it back and buds will form
There's flooding on the bottom floor
Don't go upstairs, it'll trap you up there
[Outro]
So lay back, arms out, all-in, unfeeling
I'll keep my deep, pristine, unflinching cool
