Alix Olson — Paroles et traduction des paroles de la chanson Checking My Pulse

Paroles

Your face crept
Into that space
Between my reflex and my resolve
Kinda like the crevice you don t notice
Til it takes down the damn wall
And now we are sitting in the window
Your forehead is red-hot and touching my knee
And I am checking my pulse
Making sure it hasn t quit on me
And I m sorry if you re thinking that I knew
What I was doing
I guess what I do best is look like I am in control
But tonight, tonight, I am a soft and untamed thing
And I will wrap my breath around you til your exhale comes clean
I am checking my pulse
I am checking my pulse
You are the buried penny at the bottom of the pool
So I guess that makes me the fool diving deep for you
I ll stick you in my pocket
All shiny, all precious, and all not mine
A hidden, forbidden treasure
Baby, you re the worst kind
Cause underneath the surface, all things loom larger
So I m searching for your edges
To fish you up, ship you up out of the water
And you are that sweet wish that she s thrown
I would have caught you in the air, girl, had I known
And now the space between these bodies
Surpasses the sum of its parts
So I am crawling in-between these moments
Balancing words hoping I don t get stuck
And I was just thinking distraction
Now I m thinking distraction s a relative thing
Cause I was casually splashing
And now I m a casualty slowly sinking
Cause in hot water, my brain just kinda puckers up
And I m drowning jaws wide open now cause my mouth
It just won t seem to shut
And you might just be a shiny thing
But you are the shiny thing I am pursuing
And when I said «you talk too much»
It was cause there was stuff I d rather you d have been doing
And then you take my breath
I say «hey, I need that to get back to the top»
«but we re beautiful down here», you say
«you know, girl
The world won t stop»
And we are sitting in the window
Your forehead is red-hot and touching my knee
And I am checking my pulse
Making sure it hasn t quit on me
I am just checking my pulse
Making sure it hasn t quit on me
I am just checking my pulse
Making sure she hasn t quit on me
Yet
