lyrics

Pull me close. Whisper how you love the shape your name takes in my mouth. Soft and low, breath me in. Attention. Attention is oxygen. And you say, "Oh how rare it is to find someone who doesn't mind a little changing tide. "A little less than die or ride fast the animal. Come back inside. Give your head a shake. It's fine.

Make no mistake about it. I was never your friend. I had something you needed. Attention is oxygen. And you say, "Oh how rare it is to find someone who doesn't mind living in betweens." Under nails, sewn into seams. Being a silver silver in the pocket of your jeans.

I save my grace for the going. You save your mean for the end. And now the machine is calling you darling, attention. Calling you darling, calling you darling. Attention. Now the machine is calling. Attention. Attention is oxygen.
