Touch Starved
Lyrics
Verse 1
You say my name
Like you forgot it halfway through
Teeth in my shoulder
But your eyes are on the room
I joke about the damage
Just to see if you will flinch
You laugh and pull me closer
I disappear an inch
Chorus
I'm so touch starved
I'll take your hands like handcuffs
Bruises as a bookmark
Proof that I exist
If this is all I get
Cheap love on a borrowed mattress
Then use me like a bad habit
I just wanna be missed
By anyone at all
Verse 2
Clothes on the floor
Like a childhood they stepped over
You ask what I’m into
I say “anything” (it’s over)
Hope sits in my throat
Like a pill I never swallowed
Every kiss a question
I already know the answer to
Chorus
I'm so touch starved
I'll take your hands like handcuffs
Bruises as a bookmark
Proof that I exist
If this is all I get
Cheap love on a borrowed mattress
Then use me like a bad habit
I just wanna be missed
By anyone at all
Bridge
You call me “baby”
I hear “broken
But available”
You say “relax”
Like my brain has an off switch
I trace your back
Mapping all the places I don’t fit
How am I this surrounded
And still dying of it
Chorus
I'm so touch starved
I'll take your hands like handcuffs
Bruises as a bookmark
Proof that I exist
If this is all I get
Cheap love on a borrowed mattress
Then use me like a bad habit
I just wanna be missed
By anyone at all
Anyone at all
