Marinade

Alone in the dark

Afraid of the light

Can you just stay for half of the night

I really need it just to live inside these walls

I'm one of those caught in between

What I had said and what I could mean

What is right and what I really think I want

Your kisses like stars aren't for me aren't for now

They're for anyone who wants to take a look

I'd give anything just to see

Just to be under the sky

When midnight comes unhooked

I need you here

I want you bad

I love the taste of your marinade

I need you here

I want you bad

I love the taste of your marinade

So let me marinate

Only once never again

Why don't we tell all of our friends

We keep it secret while we're lying in these threads

Only once never again that's what we said

I won't regret

You treat me like you've always had me here

Shadows hide the real me the real you

The poison keeps us numb from the truth

I know that you sleep with a clear mind

With my arm across your chest

But when I'm with you I'm not with you

This malaise will never rest

I need you here

I want you bad

I love the taste of your marinade

I need you here

I want you bad

I love the taste of your marinade

So let me marinate

You rise from the depths with a bottle and a dress

Just enough to make me guess

Little preview

I'm staring at the moon while you're doing what you do

And you say you like it too but I can see through

We're Romeo and Juliet mixed with booze and sugar sweat

She says I'm not finished yet from the gutter to a private jet

Keys on a motel TV set watching reruns to forget

Choose the wrong fish in the net

That's just what you're gonna get

I need you here

I want you bad

I love the taste of your marinade

I need you here

I want you bad

I love the taste of your marinade

So let me marinate
