Lyrics

Native Speaker

Swirls around my open head for days
Slayed a place for you to lay
The most beautiful of minds down

Softest cheeks
I kiss so lightly
On the side i can see you 'round the corner of my eye

It doesn't really matter
How many times you say no (no)
'Cause i've seen better
Continuously reflecting my thoughts that say so (so)
And I know the days aren't only about touching, loving you.
But my (my my my my my)
It feels good
But my (my my my my my)
It feels good

Swirls around my open head for days (days)
Made a place for you to lay
The most beautiful of minds down
Pinkest lips i kiss so nicely
Honest nights as it felt
Maybe having you inside me
Of having you rest inside me
Of having you beside me
Of having you inside me

Oh you are my native speaker
Oh you are my native speaker
Oh you are my native speaker
Oh you are my native speaker
