Put Your Back In 2 It Lyrics

Put your back into it
There is still grace in this
Let me be the one to turn you on
There is love with no hiding
Nothing you show me- I will never leave you
Let me be the one to turn you on

I hear "Nothing you show me - I will never leave you" in that second to last line, but I may be wrong.

This is such a wonderful song. To me, it's about how difficult it can be to open up to a lover sexually after having endured sexual abuse or manipulation elsewhere, and how sexuality can seem like a dirty and shameful thing after all that, but there is "still grace in this" and can still be shared with someone deeply trusted.

Perfume Genius has such emotionally enthralling lyrics. And music. And everything.
