lyrics

Come close brief and bright starlit love in my life
I wanna hold you till my hands hurt (all of the night)
When I wake if I can taste your sweat on my sleeve
I need a fix and you’re the fix I need.

If I ever want a little bit more of,
Then I really need a little bit less than.
I don’t wanna go and act like I did way back then.
If I ever want a little bit more of,
Then I really need a little bit less than.
I could never call you my friend.

You shot me up until my fever was high and I said,
I’ll keep from falling ‘till the day I die and I want,
I want to wake up with you lit like a firefly.
It ain’t about what I can own this time...
And only you can call you mine.

So close, strong and scared, held up holding your hair
One pretty polaroid, sleeping in the shirt that I wear.
When I wake oh I can taste your skin on my sleeve,
I found a fix and you’re my fix indeed.

(Chorus)

Only you can call and call you mine

If I ever want a little bit more of...

(Chorus)

And only you can call you mine
Only you can call and call you mine It’s just not the time
For you to call and call you mine.
