Wind Me Up
Your Plaything
Wind Me Up
Verse 1
You don’t touch me, you just look
And I’m already leaning in
Every pause is a loaded gun
Every breath, a silent sin
You know the buttons, know the code
You don’t rush, you let it ache
I’m standing still, but I’m shaking
Waiting on the move you’ll make
You don’t promise, you imply
You don’t push, you pull away
And I chase the space between us
Like it’s something I can’t say
Pre-Chorus
You turn the dial just a little too high
Then you leave me humming all night
Say my name like you might mean it
Then disappear right on time
Chorus
Wind me up, let me go
Watch me spin when you say so
You decide when I rise or fall
When I feel ten feet or nothing at all
Wind me up, slow and tight
Let me burn, let me bite
You don’t even have to try
You control my highs and lows tonight
Verse 2
I live in the almost-touch
In the way you don’t explain
You give me just enough voltage
To forget I’m in my own brain
I’m a spark in your fingers
I’m a light you dim for fun
You leave me counting seconds
‘Til you tell me I’m the one
You don’t claim me, you arrange me
Like I’m something you can move
Every yes is wrapped in maybes
Every truth is half untrue
Pre-Chorus
You laugh like you know the ending
I pretend like I don’t care
But I’m reading every signal
In the silence that you wear
Chorus
Wind me up, let me go
Pull the thread, then let it show
You decide when I explode
When I freeze, when I fold
Wind me up, say my name
Make me think I chose the game
I don’t even ask you why
You control my highs and lows tonight
Post-Chorus
Click—there it goes
Feel it start in my bones
Tick—too slow
But I love the tension you hold
Verse 3
I don’t need you to save me
I don’t need you to stay
I just want the way you wreck me
Without getting in the way
You treat my heart like a switchblade
Pretty, dangerous, clean
You open me just enough
To see what I could be
I know this isn’t balance
I know this isn’t safe
But there’s something in the chaos
That feels honest when you play
Bridge
If you drop me, I’ll shatter
If you keep me, I’ll beg
But you love me best uncertain
With your foot on the edge
Say stop, say go
Say nothing at all
I’ll read it in your body
I’ll answer every call
Breakdown
I’m wound so tight I’m trembling
I’m smiling like I’m fine
You’ve got my rhythm memorized
You fuck with it every time
Chorus (Final)
Wind me up, let me go
Let me crash, let me glow
You decide when I feel alive
When I’m barely getting by
Wind me up, don’t be kind
Leave your fingerprints in my mind
I don’t fight it, I don’t lie
You control my highs and lows tonight
Outro
When the music finally cuts
And the room goes quiet and cold
I’m still spinning from your touch
Even when you let me go
