#VERSE
We are two modern sculptures
In a public park
Dance above the pond
Before sunrise, after dark
Sunlight bathes
Our bronze-tone skin
People stop and stare
But can’t comprehend
#PRE-CHORUS
With shapes beautifully defined
We embrace but never touch
Pirouette on pedestals, just out of reach
To feel your metal skin—too big a rush
#CHORUS
How can it be that
We’re intertwined
When we’ve never been
The passionate kind
You dance your direction
I dance mine
Never kiss, never touch
But we’re intertwined
#VERSE
We’re two warm bodies
In one big bed
You’re a goose-down snuggler
I’m flannel sheet with no spread
Three feet apart
That’s close as we get
If that comforter dared touch me
I’d be swimming in sweat
#PRE-CHORUS
But sleeping preferences?
Not what this is about
We’re just dispassionate on passion
Our whole lives one long love drought
#CHORUS
How can it be that
We’re intertwined
When we’ve never been
The passionate kind
You dance your direction
I dance mine
Never kiss, never touch
But we’re intertwined
#BRIDGE
We don’t try to explain
How we feel connected
Or why two young, healthy bodies
Have never intersected
Though you know I’m yours
And I know you’re mine
Sometimes I lie awake and wonder
If I’m broken inside
#INSTRUMENTAL
#PRE-CHORUS
Everyone’s pushing us to procreate
And some days that sounds delicious as chocolate fudge
But being intertwined is my limited fate
You’re my bronze statue beauty I can’t bring myself to touch
#CHORUS
We’ve never been
The passionate kind
You dance your direction
I dance mine
Not even we comprehend it
But life is far past fine
Never kiss, never touch
But we’re intertwined
#OUTRO
Vintage love like our grandparents
Way before our time
Never kiss, never touch
But we’re intertwined
Never kiss, never touch
But we’re intertwined
