Exposure
Veela Lyrics

Touch, leave, push, oh yeah
The cycle of attraction and rejection they go through with their lover.

Bring me out to the midnight show
The singer wants to be taken out to an exciting night, filled with adventure and passion.

You won't listen, I don't want to go
Despite their lover's disregard of their desires, they remain conflicted, still wanting to go out.

I'll lose my grip if in this place,
In this environment of uncertainty, they fear that they will lose control over themselves.

There's nothing to hold onto except for your embrace
The only thing that can make them feel safe is their lover's embrace.

I wanna hear the secrets you've never told
The singer desires intimacy with their lover, and wants to hear the things they've never revealed to anyone.

So be bold now
Encouraging their lover to be brave and share these secrets with them.

If you can believe it, I've fallen for you again
The artist has fallen for their lover once more, and is surprised by their own feelings.

When I lose my veil, the moonlight, she brushes against
When she reveals her vulnerable and true self to their lover, it feels as magical as the moonlight brushing against her skin.

All the reasons I avoided and let you take me away
Despite their reservations, they let their lover take control and sweep them off their feet.

From the pain
Seeking to escape their emotional pain through their lover's embrace.

But you sing sing sing sing
Their lover's voice is comforting and soothing to them.

You're so uptight for what the future holds
Adressing their lover directly, saying that they are anxious about what the future will bring.

Why you so scared of growing old?
Questioning their lover's fear of getting older.

You're always so hollow on your normal days
The lover appears shallow and empty in their everyday life.

If you'd just live in the moment your soul won't fade away
If they could just live in the present moment, their life will be more fulfilling.

I'll sing you haunted melodies with the stories
The artist will sing their lover haunting songs filled with stories.

Remember when the nights were ours
Recalling when they were free and able to spend their nights together.

We were free there were no bars
Emphasizing the freedom of their past relationship.

Make our way, you'd align the start
Their lover would help to steer their relationship in the right direction.

Can you tolerate my memoirs?
Asking their lover if they can handle hearing about their past experiences and memories.

As painful as it may seem
Acknowledging that their stories may be painful for their lover to hear.

I've gotta do it, need to see that gleam
The singer needs to share their past experiences in order to see that spark in their lover's eyes again.

Desire spark in your eyes
The artist wants to reignite the passion in their lover's eyes.

It's the truth and I know you despise it
Although they know their lover dislikes the truth, the singer still needs to express it.
