Thirst Lyrics

(Chorus)
I still thirst for you
In the late night
Even with the sun down
Even in the daylight
I don't know why I'm running right back
When you say it ain't love
But it's something like that (x2)


(Verse 1)
You had me hanging on a dial tone
Miss opportunity was lonely
But she only seems to knock
When I'm not at home

We left off with the let's pretend
We can just be friends
Caught a second wind
Now we're playing chess again

I can't expect to win
When you're dressing like this
I can't be held accountable for how it might get
The tension's quite thick
Looking like I'm in trouble
Hard to be platonic
When I've touched every inch of you

So I try to resist the urges
I get when I watch you play
With your bottom lip when you're nervous
I guess that I just preferred it
When we didn't have to hold back
But I can tell there's a part of you that knows that I

(Chorus)
I still thirst for you
In the late night
Even with the sun down
Even in the daylight
I don't know why I'm running right back
When you say it ain't love
But it's something like that (x2)

(Verse 2)
It's not like the conversation doesn't intrigue me
But there's not a drop of you I wouldn't drink deeply
Let me speak easy
Yeah, you like to say a lot
I haven't seen a fingertip
That tried to leave the tabletop
I can't front like we never were in love before
I can't push when we're pulling in a tug of war
I'm not sure if I'm wondering your ring size
Or I wanna wander through the garden on the inside

But then I think of the breathing
The heat of the moment peaks
And the fever beneath us deepens
And I wonder why we ever try to hold back
But I can tell there's a part of you that knows that
(Chorus)
I still thirst for you
In the late night
Even with the sun down
Even in the daylight
I don't know why I'm running right back
When you say it ain't love
But it's something like that (x2)
