Little Death - The Beths

When you’re near

My heart starts beating faster

The world starts moving slower

And I just freeze

And it’s cold, the steam escapes

Through my lips and dissipates

And you breathe it in

We all breathe it in

Your smile it makes me weak

And the red spreads to my cheeks

You make me feel three glasses in

And you say my name

My legs support a little less

My tongue becomes a little mess

My lips are longing to confess, Ooo Oo

My lungs they catch on every breath

My heart beats harder at the cage

Inside my chest

And I die, I die a little death

I die, I die a little death

You come and go

A lightning bolt in daytime

That burns into my eyeline

You’re all I see

There’s no sign of the sun

So the moon moves out in front

She wants to be aligned

We all wanna be aligned

And your voice it makes me weak

I’m wasted when you speak

You hit me hard as red wine

And you say my name

My legs support a little less

My tongue becomes a little mess

My lips are longing to confess, Ooo Oo

My lungs they catch on every breath

My heart beats harder at the cage

Inside my chest

And I die, I die a little death

I die, I die a little death

I die, I die a little death

I die, I die a little death

You say my name

(You say, you say)

My balance takes a little rest

(I die, I die)

My conscience hung under duress

(You say, you say)

My twitching fingers do their best

(I die, I die)

To keep their wandering selves in check

(You say, you say)

My mind it finds a new address

(I die, I die)

This life is cursed, you’re heaven-blessed

(You say, you say)

This human god, this honoured guest

(I die, I die)

Filling up the emptiness

(You say, you say)

My legs support a little less

(I die, I die)

My tongue becomes a little mess

(You say, you say)

My lips are longing to confess

(I die, I die)

But I’ll never tell, you’ll never guess

(You say, you say)

My lungs they catch on every breath

(I die, I die)

My heart beats harder at the cage

(You say, you say)

Inside my chest

And I die, I die a little death

(You say my name)

I die, I die a little death

(You say my name)

I die, I die a little death

(You say my name)

I die, I die a little death
