Oh but the longing is terrible.
A wanton heart under attack.
I wanna love you all the way off.
I wanna break your back.

Colour of all that's hysterical.
Travels along your bones.
Just to be near you
suckin’ your skin.
Not gonna leave you alone.

Yes here of course there are miracles.
A lover that loves that's one.
Groomed with the laughter.
Ecstatic disaster.
Come let's arouse the fun!

We could build an engine.
Out of all your rising stars.
Tear apart the apart.
We seem to think we are!
Call off work let's lay!
Call it Lovers Day!
Call it Lovers Day!!

Give me the keys to your hiding place.
I'm not gonna tear it apart.
I'm gonna keep you weak in the knees.
Try to unlock your heart.

You're gonna turn me animal.
You're gonna turn me dumb.
Your kiss in the night.
Bringing the light.
You're like the rising sun.

I hunger for you like a cannibal.
Not gonna let you run.
I'm gonna take you.
I'm gonna shake you.
I'm gonna make you cum.

Swear to God it'll get so hot
it'll melt our faces off.
Then we can see
the you the me
beyond mirrors outside clock.
Held naked in the light.
Held gently, held tight.
So soft!
Get Off!
Get Off!

Ball so hard we'll smash the walls.
Break the bed.
And Crash the floors!
Don't Stop!
Laugh and Scream!
And have the neighbors call the cops! ‘
till all the eyes that've seen our fire play!!

Can't forget.
Mark it down.
Call it Lovers Day!!

Yes here of course there are miracles.
Under your sighs and moans.
I'm Gonna take you.
I'm Gonna take you.
I'm Gonna take you home

    It's what I'd imagine my first time will be like... I hope it'll be just as exciting and joyfull, passionate and fun, for the both of us. ..

    One day... when i finally find her...

    A wanton heart under attack."

    Out of all your rising stars. "

    General Comment:This song is obviously about making love and sex.. And I totally want to make love while this song is playing. It's full of energy and slows down just right. It's one of my top TVotR songs.

    General Comment:oh yeah this song is lonly about sex and love, i read somewhere that it was the case with most of tvotr songs. this song makes me so hopeful and sad. i think love is part of the solution. i think sex is the hardest part. wanting to give so much love to people and not being able to tell them.

    General Comment:This is the only song on Dear Science that has an easily recognizable meaning:

    It's about raunchy, passionate sex.

    Oh god. It's like something out of a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. Soooooo hot.

    I mean, I *hate* how the song begins (it sounds so ugly) but once it gets rolling...yeah. It makes my hands shake.

    General Comment:I'd say the reason it works so well is that it's not only sexy but very funny as well. It's joyful.

    "The song makes me want to fuck everyone."

    Truth.

    General Comment:My first impressions were that the song is about sex. The way the song is structured and the vocals build up to a climax point and then suddenly drop off to a calm reassuring sound. It sounds like an orgasm.
