Hermitude
Rushing Through Me
[Verse 1]
Take your places, dinner's served
Poets and painters, musicians, there they were
There's Pinot Gris or Merlot
Whatever you prefer
Lovers and sinners and innocent others
Oils and inks and the mixing of colours (come on)
House they called Heide, the things you discover
Different if you're over or under the covers
(Come on down) You let the breeze clear the air
(Say what, say what) The food is getting cold, I couldn't care
Your fingers running through your hair
Underneath the table I can feel the brushing of our legs
The chattering of voices, the cutlery is tapping
If we drink enough than maybe it will happen, I'm feeling tipsy
And for something risky, a nervous rush of pleasure
I'm ravaged by the pressure

[Hook: Bertie Blackman]
Rushing through me, yeah
Rushing through me, yeah
Use me, touch me, you don't have to trust me
I don't really care if it's wrong, no
Quickly, hurry up and take me
I don't really care if it's wrong, no
[Verse 2: Bertie Blackman]
Faded lipstick on the glass, okay top me up
Lavender that's in the vase, delicately cut
Across the table from my past, unruly passenger
Will someone calm my fucking heart
Cause it keeps speeding up

[Verse 2]
Every time the door is opened, the candlelight is wavy
The windows fogging up, it's hazy, the air is crazy
Below the chairs our feet are touching but neither pulls away
The pots are clanging in the kitchen, we're a thousand miles away
Then someone yells 'what are you two up to?' And I think
Trying to be world famous twenty years after we're dead, 'I'll drink
To that' he said, you got up and left and had a cigarette
This single-minded lust had consequences I ain't figured yet
Maybe it's the red but the room is spinning around
And all the colours come to life the shadows that they're bringing out
I'll join you in that darkest night, dreaming of us laying down
Blind to every thought except you're

[Hook: Bertie Blackman]
Rushing through me, yeah
Rushing through me, yeah
Use me, touch me, you don't have to trust me
I don't really care if it's wrong, no
Quickly, hurry up and take me
I don't really care if it's wrong, no
Use me, touch me, you don't have to trust me
I don't really care if it's wrong, no
Quickly, hurry up and take me
I don't really care if it's wrong, no
