you do something 
to me i can't 
quite explain & i should not 
be afraid & i should not be ashamed but 
that night on the fire escape 
i thought we was 
making some kind of horrible mistake 
& then you leaned in for the kill 
it was the sake of the thrill 
& you & I, oh. 

& I knew I knew you 
I knew I knew you 
I knew you knew 
I was gnawing at the [bad word] 
gnawing at the [bad word] for you 

sometimes I get a little bit afraid of 
things like this that can make big waves 
because I like my life 
on my boat 
on this lake 
& I do not like to take 
chances 

you do something 
to me i can't 
quite explain & i should not 
be afraid & i should not be ashamed but 
that night on the fire escape 
i thought we was 
making some kind of horrible mistake 
& then you leaned in for the kill 
it was the sake of the thrill 
& you & I, oh. 

every now & then things are new 
& every time I do 
something like follow the deep in my gut 
I always end up getting 
some kind of [bad word] 
& i'm not really sure 
if you know what i mean 
but we will see if you 

& I knew I knew you 
I knew I knew you 
I knew you knew 
I was gnawing at the [bad word] 
gnawing at the [bad word] for you
