Electric Kiss

Lyrics

[Intro]
The air is heavy in the room.
A thunderstorm about to break.

[Verse 1]
You’ve got that look of sudden weather,
A static building in the room.
We’re pulling off the heavy sweater,
To coax the lightning from the gloom.
I know the danger in the wire,
The hesitation in the wrist.
But terror is a kind of fire,
When leaning toward the electric kiss.

[Chorus]
Don't ground me, let the current spike,
I need the jolt, I need the jump.
It’s terrifying, what it's like,
To feel that heavy, sudden thump.
The dread is where the magic lives,
The static dancing on the skin.
It takes away before it gives,
So let the quiet storm begin.

[Verse 2]
The atmosphere is getting humid,
The copper coils are running hot.
We’re testing out just what we’ve ruined,
And finding out just what we caught.
Like tasting a 9-volt on the tongue,
That sharp and copper-coated thrill.
The warning label comes undone,
Because the sting is better still.

[Chorus]
Don't ground me, let the current spike,
I need the jolt, I need the jump.
It’s terrifying, what it's like,
To feel that heavy, sudden thump.
The dread is where the magic lives,
The static dancing on the skin.
It takes away before it gives,
So let the quiet storm begin.

[Bridge]
We walk the edge of the frayed cord,
A little bite to wake the nerve.
We’re pulling power from the board,
And leaning hard into the curve.
Resistance only makes it bright,
The insulation wearing thin.
You flip the switch into the night,
And let the darker charge begin.

[Outro]
Just a spark.
Just a sudden snap in the dark.
Voltage and velvet...
And the way you leave the circuit open,
just a second longer than I thought you would.
