Across This Body
Jeni De La O
I don’t know how many days I will write about time and
how many minutes
When i pour my coffee for the 3rd time you wait and
smile cause oh you see yourself in it
I never had addictions until i met you
I never smoked a thing until that night
And darlin’ I will wait for another puff
if it means you’re the one passing it to me
I don’t know how many days I will love this line
or the next one that inevitably follows
When i stumble on a phrase I like better than the feeling
it occupies inside of every swallow
I never had addictions until i met you
I never smoked a thing until that night
And darlin’ I will write this way till mornin’
Cause I’ve got the best obsession in front of me
I don’t know how many days I’ll write about time
and how many hours
When I dance for you after all the years of sucking in
you smile at my body of work and of beauty
I never had addictions until i met you
I never smoked a thing until that night
And darlin’ I will hold on to forever and again
if it means that you’re holding back to me
I never had addictions until i met you
and now you’re the one thing on my mind
