Atmosphere - Body Pillow lyrics

And then there was this one night
When I took the time
To examine a napkin in a Chicago hotel room
I wasn't alone, it was a night after a show
Space was full, energy was consumed
There was a girl, emphasis on the "L"
She was noticin' the detail as well
And the two of us found
Something with each other
Previously undiscovered: hell is
Full of lovers and the daylight is bright
Always makes me squint
But it feels like magic when
It touches my face
Suffocate myself, overwhelm myself
And let the sunrays abandon
Me floatin' through space

And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep
With a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But theres a price to pay when
You try to live a little

And attractive as that napkin
Ever could've been
My! How it unfolded! Hold it to the wind
Try now to be a rock but
She's caught under the skin
Ex-lover and a best friend
Just like the rest of them
Then there was this one night
I stopped to watch someone bite
The tip of a cigarette
To hold it inbetween her lips
Never met nobody like her
Please brace yourself, danger danger
This might hurt
The playground feels a lot different
When the sun's out
She wasn't messin' round she came
In with her guns out
Screamin 'bout the ocean: "Anybody
Wanna go with me?"
Never knew punk rock could be so pretty
Now catch your breath and then catch the ball
And sit by the phone so
You can catch the call
Write catchy one-liners on the bathroom stall
Here I go wouldn't you know
Still learnin to crawl

I've always dug the way you love
The way your tattoos intimidate men
I guess I'm one of them
Standin right next to you from way over here
Ex-lover and a best friend
(best lover and an ex-friend)
Then there was this one night
I noticed a tree
That stood by it'self about an hour up north
And I can picture her holding onto the limb
Wearin a summer dress and a grin
Swingin back and forth
Talkin bout the breeze and how it easy it is
To leave all the worries in the backseat
Teach me please, I need the abilities to live
Silly me
I tried to measure it by what I can give
But she didn't need anything
Just a pair of ears
Some strong fingers and someone
To share the tears
Read the fear, feeling it inadequate
Now let's make-believe that I can handle it

And I still get to talk to
You every now and then
Definition of "over" doesn't have
To be the end
It's good to see you grow girl
Shake my hand that's all I want from my
Ex-lover and my best friend

I got your back
Don't ever fucking question that
I got your back always have
I still got your back
