"Body Pillow" lyrics - ATMOSPHERE

Then there was this one night when I took the time
To examine a napkin in a Chicago hotel room
I wasn't alone, it was a night after a show
Space was full, energy was consumed

There was a girl, emphasis on the "L"
She was noticin' the detail as well
And the two of us found something with each other
Previously undiscovered, hell is for the lovers

And the daylight is bright, always makes me squint
But it feels like magic when it touches my face
Suffocate myself, overwhelm myself
And let the sunrays abandon me floatin' through space

And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little

And as attractive as that napkin ever could've been
My how it unfolded, hold it to the wind
Try now to be a rock, but she's caught under the skin
Ex-lover and a best friend, just like the rest of them

Then there was this one night, I stopped to watch someone bite
The tip of a cigarette to hold it in between her lips
Never met nobody like her please brace yourself
Danger danger, this might hurt

The playground feels a lot different when the sun's out
She wasn't messin' 'round, she came in with her guns out
Screamin' 'bout the ocean, "Anybody wanna go with me?"
Never knew punk rock could be so pretty

Now catch your breath and then catch the ball
And sit by the phone so you can catch the call
Writin' catchy one-liners on the bathroom stall
Here I go, wouldn't you know, still learnin' to crawl

And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little

I've always dug the way you love the way your tattoos intimidate men
I guess I'm one of them
Standin' right next to you from way over here
Ex-lover and a best friend (ex-lover and a best friend)

Then there was this one night, I noticed a tree
That stood by itself about an hour up north
And I can picture her holding onto the limb
Wearin' a summer dress and a grin, swingin' back and forth

Talkin' bout the breeze and how it easy it is
To leave all the worries in the backseat
Teach me please, I need the abilities to live
Silly me, I tried to measure it by what I can give

But she didn't need anything, just a pair of ears
Some strong fingers and someone to share the tears
Read the fear, feeling it inadequate
Now let's make-believe that I can handle it

And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little

And I still get to talk to you every now and then
Definition of "over" doesn't have to be the end
It's good to see you grow girl, shake my hand
That's all I want from my ex-lover and my best friend

I got your back
Don't ever fucking question that
I got your back
Always have
I still got your back

And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little

And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little
