Carrying our shoes, runnin' down this highway
In the back of my mind, we're almost home (ooh)
Eyes burning black when you turn them my way
Ivory, what're you runnin' from?
There's something in the way you talk
(I always bite it like a forbidden fruit)
It's so raw
(And then I'm running right back to you)
There's something in the way you talk
Out of breath, my chest bursting in flames
You're the brightest but most distant star (ooh)
When you're running and your hair sticks to your face
Ivory, I see who you are
There's something in the way you (talk)
(I always bite it like a forbidden fruit)
It's so raw
(And then I'm running right back to you)
I'd kiss every single, oh, scar
In the place your thoughts hide in the dark
I'd love you just the way you are, Ivory
I'd write my name in your back, in your arms
I'd feel every single birthmark
Hope you don't run away too far, Ivory
