Count to five twice

Verse

Candle wax dripping down your collarbone

Glassy puddle where we left the drink

Your hand finds mine in the smoke and heat

Four more beats before we move again

The strobe cuts out for one long breath

I see nothing but your skin and light

We let it wash over us like a tide

Two of you, two of me inside

Pre-Chorus

Can I count to five twice with you?

Hold the pulse where our hands already touch

Say we don't need the clock to keep time

Not when every drop makes this line

Bend your neck against my shoulderbone

Don't let go before the beat goes home

Chorus

Count to five twice

Count to five twice

Count to five twice

With you

Verse

Your heel brushes mine where we move apart

The mirror hums like a hummingbird's throat

I take two breaths with your palm in mine

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

Every count is yours alone

Every slow step down to the floor is one

Of these hundred thousand hearts I've known

But none of them have kept me here this long

Pre-Chorus

Can I count to five twice with you?

Hold the pulse where our hands already touch

Say we don't need the clock to keep time

Not when every drop makes this line

Bend your neck against my shoulderbone

Don't let go before the beat goes home

Chorus

Count to five twice

Count to five twice

Count to five twice

With you

Bridge

No shadows here, just skin and sound

We lose the hour, we lose the crowd

Just keep counting till your eyes land on mine

And we count to five one more time

Hold it down where our hands already touch

I don't need a clock when this is what I've got

Chorus

Count to five twice

Count to five twice

Count to five twice

With you
