Somewhere Between Salt and Sugar

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
