When I think of you, I think of your skin
Golden brown from the sun
Your arms outstretched, your hair cut shorter than it'd been
But still blowing in the wind
When I picture you, I think of your smile
And it drives me wild
Your laugh escaping you, your head thrown to the side
And it drives me wild
You carried romance in the palm of your hand
You called the plays for us
You clung to self-restraint, you followed your plan
You put the brakes on this
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
When I envision you, I think of your sheets
Tangled up beneath me
Your body inching close, closer to the edge
I got a hold of you then
When I imagine you, I think of that room
And it drives me wild
Your face relaxed, your voice a whisper in my ear
And it drives me wild
You carried romance in the palm of your hand
You called the plays for us
You clung to self-restraint, you followed your plan
You put the brakes on this
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
I would've had us swerving through those streets
Over and over
I would've stalled or rushed us through those greens
Over and over
But you knew that (You drove me wild)
And you wouldn't let me lose control
(You drove me wild) Control
(You drove me wild)
You carried romance in the palm of your hand
You called the plays for us
You clung to self-restraint, you followed your plan
You put the brakes on this
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
You carried romance in the palm of your hand
You called the plays for us
You clung to self-restraint, you followed your plan
You put the brakes on this
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
Golden brown from the sun
Your arms outstretched, your hair cut shorter than it'd been
But still blowing in the wind
When I picture you, I think of your smile
And it drives me wild
Your laugh escaping you, your head thrown to the side
And it drives me wild
You carried romance in the palm of your hand
You called the plays for us
You clung to self-restraint, you followed your plan
You put the brakes on this
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
When I envision you, I think of your sheets
Tangled up beneath me
Your body inching close, closer to the edge
I got a hold of you then
When I imagine you, I think of that room
And it drives me wild
Your face relaxed, your voice a whisper in my ear
And it drives me wild
You carried romance in the palm of your hand
You called the plays for us
You clung to self-restraint, you followed your plan
You put the brakes on this
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild

You carried romance in the palm of your hand
You called the plays for us
You clung to self-restraint, you followed your plan
You put the brakes on this
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild
And it drove me
And it drove me
And it drove me wild

This is probably my favorite track off heartthrob. Love the way those sisters sing “why-yuld.”
Tegan was really into this person, probably when they were very young together, and her significant other was the one who tried to keep her cool, determine how fast or slow they went, in spite of Tegan’s uninhibited desire for her combined with an infamous habit of rushing/stalling/complicating spiraling relationships out of control.
Whether they made it or ended up breaking it off in the end doesn’t matter, to me at least. The fleeting infatuation and bliss that is quintessential of a relationship’s beginning is conveyed beautifully, and is totally human.
