Can you know somebody
If you know their body?
Can you find their fears
somewhere by their neck or their ears

Can I know your secrets
if I know where you're ticklish
can I find your soul
If i trace your skin over your bones

Somewhere in between 
what i want and what I need
is a world of questions
Somewhere in your bed 
in our intimacy
are the things we can't promise
Somewhere in your bed 
in the sweat and in the heat
is the fear it's all for nothing

Can I find your answers
in the way your cheeks color?
Can I know your heart
if I watch the way your lips part

Can I be an equal
when I'm feeling so feeble
Can I play it safe
if I know too well it's too late

Somewhere in between 
what i want and what I need
is a world of questions
Somewhere in your bed 
in our intimacy
are the things we can't promise
Somewhere in your bed 
in the sweat and in the heat
is the fear it's all for nothing

Secrets

Lyrics:

Can we take it slow
like we did back in high school
like my body's the first you ever touched

Can we take it slow
like we did in our basements
clothes on lights off
breathing on the rug

Can we take it slow
like we did back in high school
let the wings flutter
let the heart pump

Once upon a time
romance was alive
we didn't have rules
so we carved new grooves
No expectations
all exploration
what you give is welcome
what you don't, forgot
Now love is flustered
all rushed and cluttered
grabbing what's familiar
we are all too eager
I just met you
don't want to kiss you
let's make our own rules
treat me like I'm new

Can we take it slow
like we did back in high school
like my body's the first you ever touched

Can we take it slow
like we did in our basements
clothes on lights off
breathing on the rug

Can we take it slow
like we did back in high school
let the wings flutter
let the heart pump

Now, it's like we're all afraid
what's under getting laid
I take my layers off
but my skin is tough
Feeling like a puppet
eat it grab it suck it
let's try something new
let me look at you
Take our layers in
eyes and breath and skin
one finger at a time
there is no finish line
We can be more than bodies
more than getting lucky
more than always rushing
just look at me

Can we take it slow
like we did back in high school
like my body's the first you ever touched

Can we take it slow
like we did in our basements
clothes on lights off
breathing on the rug

Can we take it slow
like we did back in high school
let the wings flutter
let the heart pump
