Katharine McDonough - Lean In Lyrics

Playing with fire, it's a hobby we share
And the pyro in you noticed flames in my hair
A flickering shadow, your body and mine
And I can't look away, and there's just enough time
And I'm starting to linger the longer you let me
And waiting and willing your hands to come get me
Pretending it's simple and doesn't affect me
But no one can tell me, and heaven can't help me
When you reach out, and I lean in
And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm
And break the rules, but not too much
Platonic touch that's weighted with wanting
And waiting for wanting to stop
No drama in something that isn't existent
But the pain of my lust is acute and persistent
And I won't ignore when you sigh with frustration
And I'll drown here darkly in anticipation
And I'm starting to linger the longer you let me
One brush of your finger undoes and upsets me
Forgetting myself til' the day you forget me
But no one can tell me, and heaven can't help me
When you reach out, and I lean in
And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm
And break the rules, but not too much
Platonic touch that's weighted with wanting
And waiting for wanting to stop
How easy and grounding, unstable, unfounding
It's scary, inviting, perverse, gratifying
It's raw and revealing, no chance of it healing
And how it unseats me, this feeling defeats me
Yes, it's easy and grounding, unstable, unfounding
It's scary, inviting, perverse, gratifying
It's raw and revealing, this dangerous feeling
And how it unnerves me, I think you can't hurt me
When you reach out, and I lean in
And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm
And break the rules, but not too much
Platonic touch that's loaded with longing, and slowly exploding
As you reach out, and I lean in
And we begin to exhale a slow and deliberate rhythm
Of not too close, but just past safe, and limits chafe
And shiver away, and defy all convention
It won't go away without swift intervention
It's weighted with wanting, and waiting for wanting to stop
