Nurtured Adjacent

2 a.m., orange text hitting my phone
First night in a long time we've been alone
Company could be the prize when atoned
I show up in the rain right at your door
Without a word, you let me in, shuffle shoes off on your hardwood floor
Shuffle off some more

Ain't it funny how sentences bring us to this?
But confrontations leave with few words
As my muffles fill air in the darkness's silence I wonder

So just empty yourself in my voice
Take us both straight to the point
We have a choice with our thoughts stripped bare
Laid without a care
The way they take me there
Go on and let out the rest
Trap them inside of the chest
We know what's best with these wordless statements
The nurtured adjacent

Different person undercover I know
Differences between you and the lovers I've known
So freeing to not have to ask where this goes
It's nothing but you and me here
Shift through the cosmos and the galaxies near
Tell me everything and lock it up so only we hear

Ain't it funny how sentences bring us to this?
But confrontations leave with few words
As my muffles fill air in the darkness's silence I wonder

So just empty yourself in my voice
Take us both straight to the point
We have a choice with our thoughts stripped bare
Laid without a care
The way they take me there
Go on and let out the rest
Trap them inside of the chest
We know what's best with these wordless statements
The nurtured adjacent

Why am I here spending light years away from it all?
Entrapped in your arms
Selfish pleasure's so hard to measure
But nothing that makes us feel this good can make us feel harm

So just empty yourself in my voice
Take us both straight to the point
We have a choice with our thoughts stripped bare
Laid without a care
The way you take me there
Go on and let out the rest
Trap them inside of the chest
We know what's best with these wordless statements
The nurtured adjacent
