(Verse 1)
The city sleeps outside my window pane
But there's a wildfire burning through my veins.
I trace the ghost of where your shadow fell.
I'm tangled in the stories you won't tell.
My pulse is racing to a different drum
Since the very second that I saw you come.
This feeling's toxic, but it feels so right.
You're stealing all the colors from my night.
(Pre-Chorus)
They say I'm losing my own sanity
Drowning in this sweet insanity.
'Cause every inch of space between our skin
Is letting someone else get close within.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm jealous of everyone you talk to,
Jealous of everything you touch.
I'm jealous of everything you look at,
Oh, it hurts me so much.
I'm jealous of the air you breathe,
Of the sea when it kisses your skin.
You are my irresistible temptation,
Where do I end, and you begin?
(Verse 2)
I see your laughter echoing downtown
When you're with friends and I am not around.
I hate the moonlight for the way it spills
Across your shoulders on those distant hills.
I memorized the rhythm of your walk.
Just hearing other voices makes me choke.
I'd burn the world down if it kept you here.
Consume the silence, destroy my fear.
(Pre-Chorus)
They call it sickness, they can name the crime.
But I've been sentenced for the very first time.
'Cause every breath you take without my hand
Is something I can't try to understand.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm jealous of everyone you talk to,
Jealous of everything you touch.
I'm jealous of everything you look at,
Oh, it hurts me so much.
I'm jealous of the air you breathe,
Of the sea when it kisses your skin.
You are my irresistible temptation,
Where do I end, and you begin?
(Bridge)
Some pray to God, I only pray to you.
To let me be the one thing that stays true.
Take my obsession, make it consecrated.
Let's watch the universe we could have created.
Where no horizon dares to steal your gaze.
And you'll protect me for the rest of days.
(Final Chorus)
You are my irresistible temptation
(Oh, you drive me crazy)
My beautiful catastrophe
(Can't you see?)
I'm jealous of everyone you talk to
(I'm watching every word)
Of everything you touch
(Of everything you love so much)
Of everything you look at
(Every single glance)
I'm jealous of the air you breathe
(Take it away from me)
And of the sea when it kisses your skin
(Let my fire pull you in)
If you were mine I'd need nothing else
(Just give me one lifetime)
If you were mine I'd feel nothing but bliss
(A single stolen kiss)
So chain my heart and throw away the key
Come set this burning jealousy free.
(Outro)
Jealous... of the rain...
Jealous... of the sun...
If you were mine...
The only one...
My beautiful catastrophe...
Temptation...
