Kindling

"This is what you're gonna lose
If you don't hang on to me"

She warned me as she arched her back
And pushed her tightest parts
Herself more firmly as my strength
She clenched within her hearts

Cold ash morning
Sparks to tinder
The fires we are kindling
Lick up and down
Wrap us around
Each time we ponder leaving

"This is what you'll miss the most
Each night you sleep alone (or not)"

As she leaned back and slid herself off
I know what's coming next -
Almost me, is what - she gets
So close and holds me there

She knows how to keep me there
Until I can't breathe the air

(chorus)

And that's a thing she's gonna miss
I said "Here's a thing you're gonna miss
If you walk out that door -"

The way I know to flick your wrist
And hold both yours with mine
You trust my seven drops of bliss
Is just an advance of coming highs

(chorus)

This is what you're gonna miss
Even when you're not alone

The way I turn you around in time
To drown my throat with nectar
A warm deposit, rainbow flood
Is triggered by your wave detector

Open your valves and keep you vented

Her skin aches

(chorus)

If I can't change your mind like this,
I'll give you something hard to miss

So much more you'll never get
If you close your door to me

Your favorite steak sauce prime rib roast
A tickling of piano keys
Two fingers tender know you most
Pick ups come stroking breeze

(chorus)

"This is what you're gonna lose
If you walk away from me"

As she showed me how close
She could get and start again
A kiss, a grip, my upturned cheek
And that finger spot's insane

She said
"If I can't change your mind like this,
I'll give you something hard to miss"

(chorus)

"This is what you're gonna lose
If you walk away from me"

You've forgotten how I learned the score
Your scent a hothouse flower
Lick your latches, your open doors
Lose count the shakes of power

Your leather sweat so sour
Lost ounces by your shower
Your feather quakes an hour

(chorus)

She said
"If I can't change your mind like this,
I'll give you something hard to miss"

If I can't change your mind like this,
I'll give you something hard to miss
