Verse
Candlelight is dripping wax on table number nine
You're stealing bites of dessert straight off my plate like it's a crime
Butter on your thumbnail, laughing loud enough to turn some heads
The waiter keeps refilling water we don't drink instead
Pre-Chorus
So what do I call this feeling
Rising up like bread in heat
Is it too much or not enough
This thing that we can't eat
Chorus
I'm somewhere between salt and sugar
Can't tell if you're my ruin or my cure
Sweet talk with a bitter aftertaste
I keep coming back for more
Somewhere between salt and sugar
Is exactly where I want to stay
Losing my whole appetite
For anyone else's way
Verse
Second bottle open, and the small talk's turning slow
You reach across to fix my collar, I don't want to let it go
The kitchen's closing down around us, chairs flipped up on chrome
Still we're lingering like coffee that's gone cold but tastes like home
Pre-Chorus
So what do I call this feeling
Rising up like bread in heat
Is it too much or not enough
This thing that we can't eat
Chorus
I'm somewhere between salt and sugar
Can't tell if you're my ruin or my cure
Sweet talk with a bitter aftertaste
I keep coming back for more
Somewhere between salt and sugar
Is exactly where I want to stay
Losing my whole appetite
For anyone else's way
Bridge
Maybe love's not one clean flavor
Maybe it's the clash that makes it stay
Bitter greens against the honey
I'll take both if both mean you today
Chorus
I'm somewhere between salt and sugar
Can't tell if you're my ruin or my cure
Sweet talk with a bitter aftertaste
I keep coming back for more
Somewhere between salt and sugar
Is exactly where I want to stay
And if this is just one dinner
Give me seconds anyway
