FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

After her comes afterburn
Soothe it in the sea
You built a home, then took it down
Wood back to the trees
And you're mapping my topography
I'm changing with the leaves
And I can't take my gaze away
And you can't keep your hands off me

I told you we were treading water
At the confluence of time

We're standing in the kitchen
Bet the neighbors saw us dancing
Close enough to cause a fire
I'm running through the answers
Of all the things you could have said
Love would be the heaviest
I say it like a featherweight
Champion of the world

After him, let others in
Driving past the city lights (driving past the city lights)
And I'll fly until I know for sure
No string on my paper kite

And after the hurt, after the worst
Pain becomes a fault line

We're standing in the kitchen
Bet the neighbors saw us dancing
Close enough to cause a fire
I'm running through the answers
Of all the things you could have said
Love would be the heaviest
I say it like a featherweight
Champion of the world

We're standing in the kitchen
Bet the neighbors saw us dancing
Close enough to cause a fire
I'm running through the answers
Of all the things you could have said
Love would be the heaviest
I say it like a featherweight
Champion of the world
