On the Floor

Song: On the Floor

Artist: Perfume Genius

Lyrics: Alan Wyffels & Perfume Genius

Composed: Blake Mills

I'm trying, but still, I close my eyes (Mmm)

The dreaming, bringing his face to mine

Lock the door

The constant buzzing all through the night (Mmm)

The fighting rips me all up inside

On the floor

I pace, I run my mouth

I pray and wait

I cross out his name on the page

How long 'til this washes away?

How long 'til my body is safe?

How long 'til I walk in the light?

How long 'til this heart isn’t mine?

The rise and fall of his chest on me (Mmm)

I'm trying, but still, it's all I see

The violent current of energy (Mmm)

I hide it away and underneath

Lock the door

I shake, I promise every day to change

I cross out his name on the page

How long 'til this washes away?

How long 'til my body is safe?

How long 'til I walk in the light?

How long 'til this heart isn’t mine?

Take this wildness away

Wildness away

Wildness away

Ah, ah

I'm trying, but still, I close my eyes (Mmm)

The dreaming, bringing his face to mine

Out the door

I pace, I run my mouth

I pray to change

I cross out his name on the page

How long 'til this washes away?

How long 'til my body is safe?

How long 'til this heart isn't mine?

I just want him in my arms
