Laura Stevenson - Mammals lyrics
[Laura Stevenson - Mammals lyrics]
The sunlight, it lit up the place
It stole my golden night away
You were right, you said it right to my face
It wasn't the time
It wasn't the place to say anything
Jerking knees and electricity
I can feel your heart
Beat through dirty sheets
We've dirtied up with our dirty feet
From walking barefoot on the street
Take me out to the southern states
Dry my cheeks off, please
And speak softly to me weeks later I said
"I'm still feeling bruised"
I'd wager you feel the same way I do
It's true, it's true, a noticeable wound
When my hands were untied
It was because of you
When it's healed then I'll be too
Jerking knees and electricity
I can feel your heart
Beat through dirty sheets
We've dirtied up with our dirty feet
From walking barefoot on the street
Take me out to the southern states
Dry my cheeks off, please
And speak softly to me
It stole my golden night away
You were right, you said it right to my face
It wasn't the time
It wasn't the place to say anything
Jerking knees and electricity
I can feel your heart
Beat through dirty sheets
We've dirtied up with our dirty feet
From walking barefoot on the street
Take me out to the southern states
Dry my cheeks off, please
And speak softly to me weeks later I said
"I'm still feeling bruised"
I'd wager you feel the same way I do
It's true, it's true, a noticeable wound
When my hands were untied
It was because of you
When it's healed then I'll be too
Jerking knees and electricity
I can feel your heart
Beat through dirty sheets
We've dirtied up with our dirty feet
From walking barefoot on the street
Take me out to the southern states
Dry my cheeks off, please
And speak softly to me
