Contagious Lyrics
So child we have to see this through
The choking has you foaming at the mouth
Our bodies convulsing on the floor
Like a fish out of water
The price of wanting more
Epilepsy seems safe enough for me
It’s alright girl, it’s alright
Contagious as this seems
Girl, you’re catching on to me
Shut down and break away
This is slightly what it’s meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
A pale smile struggles behind tears
While passion meets you striking at your face
Instantly we bottle our feelings
So tell me why are you crying
The price for wanting more
But then again it seems
You’re safe enough for me
It’s alright girl, it’s alright
What defines this man
The choking has you foaming at the mouth
Our bodies convulsing on the floor
Like a fish out of water
The price of wanting more
Epilepsy seems safe enough for me
It’s alright girl, it’s alright
Contagious as this seems
Girl, you’re catching on to me
Shut down and break away
This is slightly what it’s meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
A pale smile struggles behind tears
While passion meets you striking at your face
Instantly we bottle our feelings
So tell me why are you crying
The price for wanting more
But then again it seems
You’re safe enough for me
It’s alright girl, it’s alright

Awesome song, one of the better ones on the self-titled, by far.
Could be about a drug-related incident between two people, possibly a couple. ("Convulsing", "The price of wanting more"). Just an opinion, probably way off.

what defines this man finding space in lovers' hands is this what it seems to be: who said this lasts forever
Actually sounds like a relationship to me. Or at least that feeling you get when you start to like someone. "Who said this lasts forever." Their lyrics have definitely improved a lot since they started.
