We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland
(I'll never speak again, again)
(I'll use my hands)

Damn, baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine, all mine, all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again, again)
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again, again)

Your body is a wonderland (I'll use my hands)

    I have yet to find a girl who doesn't want to melt when they hear this song. This is a definitely a good song to score some points with the ladies. Still waiting for the time where I can sing this to someone. Its so sappy it almost hurts, but damned if it doesn't describe how I feel about a girl.

    This song is unreal. It is like watching an incredible love story, while you are watching it you truly believe that something like that could happen to you, and that people are actually that happy, and risk it all for eachother. This song is the summary of every womens fantasy, he adores her, and worships her body. This taps into every womens inner insecurities about her body, the freedom you feel when your man just adores every inch of your body, even your flaws. Of all the sensual songs in the world, i really do believe this is the ultimate sex song.

    I hear this song and it makes me cry...does that mean i am wierd??? i just cant help myself... i love this song. its soooo beautiful... When he says "You want love We'll make it swim in a deep sea of blankets" i think he is trying to tell her that he wants to show her how much he loves her and share this beautiful moment with her. also when he says "I'll never let you head hit the bed without my hand behind it " i think he is saying that he would never let anything happen to her.

    I actually really like the song. Others may like it more. It's obvious what it's about. He's in love ("I know you are mine all mine all mine") and she has a great body that he has sex with nightly...or many times a night...and mornings...and afternoons. Have to chuckle about that "bubblegum tongue." Is she under age, for gawd's sake! Good song, though. More power to those who have a healthy and safe sex life, especially those truly in love married couples out there.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
