A poignant track that reflects the complex emotions of vulnerability and attraction while watching the classic film 'Vertigo'. The lyrics explore the tension between height, closeness, and the fear of falling—both literally and figuratively—as the narrator navigates the intricacies of feeling drawn to someone who elicits deep feelings of anxiety and desire.
We're watching Vertigo
Your hand dangerously close to my knee
I wonder if you're aware of what you do to me
I wonder if you know that I'm afraid of heights
And you're twice taller than me
The screen flickers, shadows play
Your touch ignites a silent sway
I keep my breath, I keep my cool
But inside I'm just a nervous fool
Your laughter echoes, fills the room
In this moment, I feel consumed
The plot unfolds, but all I see
Is the way you're looking down at me
We're watching Vertigo
Your hand dangerously close to my knee
I wonder if you're aware of what you do to me
I wonder if you know that I'm afraid of heights
And you're twice taller than me
The stakes are high, my heart's in flight
Caught between the dark and light
And as the film draws to its close
I know it’s more than just a rose
We're watching Vertigo
Your hand dangerously close to my knee
I wonder if you're aware of what you do to me
I wonder if you know that I'm afraid of heights
And you're twice taller than me
Falling for you, it feels like fate
But in this moment, I hesitate
A dizzy spin, the world goes round
And in your gaze, I'm lost, I'm found.
