lyrics

Heatwaves rolling in
And I see it clear
And I must say goodbye but
Tonight I’m here

Don’t tell me to stay while knowing we’ll enough I’m leaving this town
Heaven sent and scented like fermented sips of all of my doubt

You wrap me up
You taught me how to touch you
We’re close enough
To feel the words we don’t use
I could explain it
But this way I don’t have to
But this way I don’t have to

Heatwaves rolling in
And I see it clear
But I won’t be swayed by your words
Pressed upon my ears

Casualty of circumstance while standing on the edge of a cloud
Heaven sent and scented like incentives that I’m better without
Don’t tell me to stay knowing well enough I’m leaving this crowd
Heaven sent and scented by the things that we don’t mention out loud

You wrap me up
You taught me how to touch you
We’re close enough
To feel the words we don’t use
I could explain it
But this way I don’t have to
But this way I don’t have to
