I wanna sleep next to you But that's all I wanna do right now And I wanna come home to you But home is just a room full of my safest sounds 'Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my three A.M. shadow I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone I wanna sleep next to you But that's all I wanna do right now So come over now and talk me down I wanna hold hands with you But that's all I wanna do right now And I wanna get close to you 'Cause your hands and lips still know their way around, oh And I know I like to draw at night, it starts to get surreal But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal I wanna sleep next to you But that's all I wanna do right now So come over now and talk me down (Talk me down) If you don't mind, I'll walk that line Stuck on the bridge between us Gray areas and expectations But I'm not the one if we're honest, yeah But I wanna sleep next to you And I wanna come home to you I wanna hold hands with you I wanna be close to you But I wanna sleep next to you And that's all I wanna do right now And I wanna come home to you But home is just a room full of my safest sounds So come over now and talk me down (Talk me down)
