Burning Through The Blue

You walk in, air gets sharp

Like somebody lit a match in my chest

Hands shake, coffee waves

Try to play it off as if this is nothing

Passion, you're burning through the blue

Turning every ordinary moment into truth

I'm caught up, falling into you

Nothing in my body ever learned to stay this cool

Passion, you're burning through the blue

Knees touch on the tray

And the city turns to blur at the edge

You laugh, I forget

How to use my careful words

How to pretend

Passion, you're burning through the blue

Turning every ordinary moment into truth

I'm caught up, falling into you

Nothing in my body ever learned to stay this cool

Say my name, slowly

Like you're finding every vowel

With your hands, leave your coat

On my chair, let your heart make all the plans

That it can

Passion
