Lyrics

[Intro]
[percussive acoustic guitar strumming]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals, gritty tone]
I smell sugar
My love
I know it
It's our own
I love it
All day long
I need it
Just love you
I know I need it tonight
[Instrumental Break]
[acoustic guitar continues rhythmic strumming with melodic accents]
[Chorus]
[strained, high-register vocals]
Oh let me wonder
Let me cry upon your sleeve
Oh let me wonder
Let me die on these sleeves
Oh let me wonder
There's nothing better to see or to say
[Verse 2]
[rhythmic strumming intensifies]
I know you
Know that you tear me down
I'll vanquish you
I don't know why
[Vocal Ad-lib]
[melismatic vocalizing]
Oh oh oh oh
[Bridge]
[dynamic strumming]
Hold me up and know me
I'm not half as bad as you think
Hold me up and know me
I'm only at the edge of everything
Yeah, everything
[Outro]
[aggressive strumming]
Captain Ross
Says it's time to go get your choice
Off the edge of this ship
And fade out, I'm done with it
I know you love it
Sing out, sing out
Nothing's gonna hold me down
Yeah
I can tell a thousand trees
Just decide where they are tonight
[vocal belt]
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
[final guitar strum]
