“This Velvet Glove” by Red Hot Chili Peppers

“It’s such a waste to be wasted in the first place. I want to taste the taste of being face to face with common grace.”

Close to my skin
I’m falling in
Someone who’s been

Sittin’ by the phone
I’m left alone
In another zone

John says to live above hell
My will is well

No one is waiting
For me to fail
My will could sail yeah

To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone I listen
To our secret theme

Somebody close
That can see right through
I’d take a fall and you know
That I’d do anything
I will for you

Come closer now

Sit alone in the sun
I wrote a letter to you
Getting over myself

Somebody close
That can see right through
I’d take a fall and you know
That I’d do anything
I will for you

Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That was made for you
I’d take a fall and you know
That I’d do anything
I will for you

Someone who’s been
I’m a falling in

John says to live above hell

Long to be with
Someone to tell
I love your smell
