Mercury

(Verse 1) We’re orbiting too close to the edge of the sun A race that we’ve already lost and won. The days are fast and the nights are gold A story of fire that can’t be told. Between the chores and the morning light You’re the magnetic field that keeps me tight. I try to breathe, I try to slow down But I’m lost in the pull of your holy ground. (Pre-Chorus) It’s a fever, it’s a chemical rush The world is a roar, but you are the hush. The routine is friction, the time is a thief But this magnetism is my only belief. (Chorus) Oh, Mercury, spinning in the heat I feel your heart in every step of my feet. An intense collision, a beautiful mess A love that is more and never is less. The spark is a lightning bolt, silver and fast A magnetic bond that was built to last. (Verse 2) They say we’re too small to survive the glare But I find my oxygen in your air. The pressure of living, the weight of the tasks Are just the shadows where our spirit masks. Under the surface, the liquid is bright A silver river in the middle of the night. The spark is a signal, a high-frequency line Connecting your heartbeat directly to mine. (Bridge) (Fast, rhythmic piano and soaring violins) Pull me in closer, don’t let me go You’re the only heat that I’ll ever know. Faster than light, deeper than skin This is the place where we both begin. Mercury. Mercury. (Chorus) Oh, Mercury, spinning in the heat I feel your heart in every step of my feet. An intense collision, a beautiful mess A love that is more and never is less. The spark is a lightning bolt, silver and fast A magnetic bond that was built to last. (Outro) (A sudden silence, followed by a soft echo) One more rotation. One more beat. The spark is a sun... And the sun is sweet.
