lyrics

Perspective

Your love takes me higher
I don’t wanna zoom out, I wanna keep it in perspective
Your love feels like fire
I don’t wanna burn out, I’ll keep it calm, cool, collected

Seems like every time we touch, the sensation’s just too much
And I fall into this hole with you
By the time I’m coming to, you do that little thing you do
And I lose my self control with you
I’m not saying that I wanna stop, a quitter I am not
And I’ll go to the very end with you
I’m just saying baby please be kind, we’re talkin’ bout my time
And I want to spend it all with you

Your love takes me higher
I don’t wanna zoom out, I wanna keep it in perspective
Your love feels like fire
I don’t wanna burn out, I’ll keep it calm, cool, collected

Is this part of your masterplan? To have me eating out your hand
If so, I’ll feast all day and night
Feed me love til I’m obese with thee, I’ll be a beast with thee
Doing things with no damn decency
I’m not saying that I wanna stop, a quitter I am not
And I’ll go to the very end with you
I’m just saying baby please be kind, we’re talkin’ bout my time
And I want to spend it all with you

Your love takes me higher
I don’t wanna zoom out, I wanna keep it in perspective
Your love feels like fire
I don’t wanna burn out, I’ll keep it calm, cool, collected

(Scat section)

Your love takes me higher
I don’t wanna zoom out, I wanna keep it in perspective
Your love feels like fire
I don’t wanna burn out, I’ll keep it calm, cool, collected

I don’t wanna zoom out
I don’t wanna burn out
