"Petite Mort" lyrics

"Petite Mort"

You don't know what you do to me
I cannot speak
I cannot sleep
One more touch and I fall apart
There goes my fear
There goes my heart
Upside down in the afternoon
I'm almost gone
I'm coming soon
One more kiss and I start to reel
I want to take
I want to steal

You and me
Are the ones
Who will know when it's done?
And if it's real?
Then you'll know
When I pull
Just let go
You and me
Are the ones
Who will know when it's done?
And if it's real?
Then you'll know
When I pull
Just let go

I dreamt you met me in a local bar
We had some drinks
We crashed your car
You touched my thigh in the ambulance
You smiled and said
"This is our chance"
They tried to save me
But it was no good
There's just two shadows where we stood
Whatever happens in the after world
You'll always be my summer girl

You and me
Are the ones
Who will know when it's done?
And if it's real?
Then you'll know
When I pull
Just let go
You and me
Are the ones
Who will know when it's done?
And if it's real?
Then you'll know
When I pull
Just let go
