Come Apart With Me

[Verse 1]
Your mouth found mine beside the kitchen sink
A bright, sweet spark before I had time to think
By morning, your small laugh lived under my tongue
And my pulse kept the rhythm of the songs you’d sung

[Pre-Chorus]
We called it a fever, we called it a dare
Then your heartbeat answered from somewhere in there

[Chorus]
Kiss me till the old parts loosen
Till my heart forgets its own name
Your blood is learning my seasons
My lungs are breathing your flame
It hurts where the borders are breaking
It’s joy with a tooth in the seam
I love you past what I was made of
Come closer—come apart with me

[Verse 2]
Your left hand woke with a scar like mine
My ribs made room for a second spine
The doctor said, “Your bodies don’t agree”
But your borrowed breath kept reaching for me

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart throws a fit when it hears your name
Your heart does the same, and we call it a flame

[Chorus]
Kiss me till the old parts loosen
Till my heart forgets its own name
Your blood is learning my seasons
My lungs are breathing your flame
It hurts where the borders are breaking
It’s joy with a tooth in the seam
I love you past what I was made of
Come closer—come apart with me

[Bridge]
I spit out a tooth; you catch it and grin
You say, “That one was yours when we both came in”
Now your pulse is the drum in my wrist
And my eyes see the world through the shape of your kiss
If our bodies refuse what our hearts have begun
Let them fight till there’s only one beating as one

[Final Chorus]
Kiss me till the old parts loosen
Till our hearts forget their own names
Your blood is rewriting my seasons
My lungs are breathing your flame
It hurts where the borders are breaking
Still I reach through the fever and seam
I love you past what I was made of
Come closer—come apart with me

[Outro]
Come closer—come apart with me
One pulse, two names, and nowhere to be
