Lyrics
Won't you fold your head into my knee
Seeking comfort and closeness, asking someone to rest their head on the speaker's knee.
That emerald bruise, it's on your cheek
Referring to a visible mark, possibly a bruise, symbolizing past pain or struggles.
And I'll hold each breath you give to me
Valuing and cherishing every moment and word shared by the person addressed.
Like peppermint and rosemary
Comparing the experience to a mixture of peppermint and rosemary, possibly signifying a refreshing and soothing connection.
As I'm drowning in the river
Metaphorically drowning in life's challenges or emotions.
Somethings never end
Expressing the belief that certain experiences or feelings are enduring.
As the hand of god delivers
Attributing significant moments or blessings to a higher power.
This honey to my head
Describing a positive and intoxicating impact on the speaker's thoughts or emotions.
And my friends, they're feasting softly
Observing friends enjoying life subtly, without causing disturbance.
Their teeth don't make a sound
Highlighting the quiet nature of their enjoyment.
And I'd give them my whole body
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice oneself for others.
But they never stick around
Noting a recurring theme of people not staying in the speaker's life.
Sawyer, won't you call me sweet
Requesting affectionate communication from someone named Sawyer.
Put on my shirt, go slow on me
Suggesting an intimate act involving wearing the speaker's shirt.
And I'll stay here 'til you say your piece
Committing to stay until Sawyer expresses their thoughts or feelings.
Untie the silk around my knees
Symbolic act of freeing oneself from constraints or burdens.
As I'm drowning in the river
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed or submerged in life's challenges.
Somethings never end
Reaffirming the idea that certain experiences are enduring.
As the hand of god delivers
Continuing to attribute significant moments to a higher power.
This honey to my head
Emphasizing the positive impact on the speaker's thoughts or emotions.
And my friends, they're feasting softly
Observing friends enjoying life subtly, without causing disturbance (repeated).
Their teeth don't make a sound
Highlighting the quiet nature of their enjoyment (repeated).
And I'd give them my whole body
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice oneself for others (repeated).
But they never stick around
Noting a recurring theme of people not staying in the speaker's life (repeated).
Now I'm drowning in the river
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed or submerged in life's challenges (repeated).
I know it never ends
Acknowledging the persistent nature of certain experiences.
As the hand of god delivers
Continuing to attribute significant moments to a higher power.
And the hand of god will win
Suggesting the inevitability of divine influence prevailing.
And my friends, they're feasting softly
Observing friends enjoying life subtly, without causing disturbance (repeated).
Their teeth don't make a sound
Highlighting the quiet nature of their enjoyment (repeated).
And I'd give them my whole body
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice oneself for others (repeated).
But they never stick around
Noting a recurring theme of people not staying in the speaker's life (repeated).
And my friends they're feasting softly (They're feasting softly and I give them my body)
Friends subtly enjoying life, and the speaker offering their body in some form (repeated).
Their teeth don't make a sound (But they never stick around)
Emphasizing the quiet nature of their enjoyment and the transient nature of their presence.
And I'd give them my whole body (They're feasting softly and I give them my body)
Friends subtly enjoying life, and the speaker offering their body in some form (repeated).
But they never stick around
Reiterating the theme of friends not staying in the speaker's life, despite the speaker's willingness to give.
