Lyrics
I kinda like the way that you’re watching me
I appreciate the way you observe me
Cause I’ve never seen these eyes before
These eyes are unfamiliar to me
Haunt me while the whole city sleeps
Thoughts linger as the city sleeps
Been under these sheets with me before
We've shared intimate moments under these sheets
I know we might
Acknowledging the potential consequences
Play with fire
Engaging in risky behavior
Come to me
Inviting connection
Take me high
Elevating emotions
You and me
Referring to an intimate connection
You and me
Reiteration of an intimate connection
I kinda like the way that you’re watching me
Expressing enjoyment of being observed
It’s making me weak, but self-assured
Feeling vulnerable yet confident
When you catch me, own me
When caught, feel possessed
Secretly hold me tight
Secrecy in holding tightly
Hide forevermore
Desire to hide indefinitely
It’s what you like
Understanding and accepting preferences
Play with fire
Continuing risky behavior
Come to me
Encouraging connection
Take me high
Elevating emotions
You better don’t
Warning against disclosure
Let them know
Keeping the relationship private
These strangers’ eyes
Referencing the impact of others' gaze
Took my soul
Feeling a loss of identity
You and me
Reiteration of an intimate connection
You and me
Reaffirming an intimate connection
Diamonds turn to dynamite
Transforming valuable moments into destructive ones
Hold my heart, then burn it alive
Entrusting the heart, only to have it burned
You burn it alive
Repetition of heartburn imagery
Burn it alive
Continuation of the burning metaphor
Diamonds turn to dynamite
Reiteration of the transformation to destruction
Diamonds turn to dynamite (you better don’t, let them know)
Repetition of warning against disclosure
Hold my heart, then burn it alive (these strangers eyes)
Reiteration of heart entrustment and burning
You burn it alive
Continuation of the burning metaphor
Burn it alive (took my soul)
Repetition of the burning metaphor
Diamonds turned to dynamite
Confirmation of the destructive transformation
You and me
Reiteration of an intimate connection
You took my soul, you took my life (you better don’t, let them know)
Expressing a significant impact on the speaker
Diamonds turned to dynamite (these strangers eyes)
Confirmation of the destructive transformation
Burn it alive
Continuation of the burning metaphor
You burn it alive
Repetition of the burning metaphor
Burn it alive (took my soul)
-Dynamite
Emphasizing the explosive nature of the situation
You better don’t
Reiteration of the warning against disclosure
Let them know
Reiteration of keeping the relationship private
These strangers’ eyes
Reaffirming the impact of others' gaze
Took my soul
Reiteration of feeling a loss of identity
I kinda like the way that you’re watching me
Reiterating the enjoyment of being observed
Cause I’ve never seen these eyes before
Repetition of unfamiliar eyes
Haunt me while the whole city sleeps
Recalling haunting moments in the city's quiet hours
Been under these sheets with me before
Confirming shared intimate experiences under the sheets
