Coax me out of my hiding place
I wanna be solid for you, babe
So solid for you, babe
Coax me out, lay the bait
You’ll find me helpless, staring, prostrate
I am panting
I’m dragging something home to you
I will flatten all that’s in my way
I will cross streams and mountains just to get to you
And there’ll be saplings torn off at the base
