Spoon
Kathy Mar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A warm and gentle breath across your spine
A tingle in the touch, the fires begin to start
And love becomes intoxicating wine
The night is full of spark
The velvet of the dark
Is warm and soft like fingertips that never leave a mark
And even if we only sleep the fires are banked inside
Chorus: When the world is racing to attack
Let me be the wall against your back
Honey, you just come up to my room
And let me cup you like a spoon
You touch me and I burn, I kiss you and you steam
And when we make connections we explode
And each time we're apart is one more fever dream
Just waiting for the next sweet overload
The night is full of spark
The velvet of the dark
Is warm and soft like fingertips that never leave a mark
You reach for me again and though I'm weary to the core
A voice so deep inside is crying "More, more, more!"

A cover for your back, a hand across your heart
I'll protect and comfort you, and always have your best interest at heart
A warm and gentle breath across your spine
I'll show you affection and be there for you in every way
A tingle in the touch, the fires begin to start
Our connection ignites passion and excitement in us
And love becomes intoxicating wine
Our love is so strong it's like a drug, it consumes us and makes us feel alive

The darkness of the night is warm and inviting
Is warm and soft like fingertips that never leave a mark
Our love is gentle and never harmful or damaging
And even if we only sleep the fires are banked inside
Even when we're just resting, our love and passion is still present and simmering inside us

We wake up together and continue our journey of love and passion
When the world is racing to attack
When life gets tough and chaotic
Let me be the wall against your back
I'll be your support and protection, I've got your back
Honey, you just come up to my room
Come to me and seek comfort and solace
And let me cup you like a spoon
Let me hold you and nurture you like a spoon cradles food
You touch me and I burn, I kiss you and you steam

Just waiting for the next sweet overload
Just waiting for our next reunion, where our passion and love will overflow

Even when I'm exhausted, I'll still be there for you when you need me
A voice so deep inside is crying "More, more, more!"
My inner voice is begging for more of your love and intimacy
