We all have our chemistry, genes and life experiences that make us who we are and part of life is learning to navigate those parts which are harder for ourselves to love. DWSWLY is about wishing your biology, trauma, history and body could just get out of the way from fully being with the person you love. “I just want to do away with my body for you / Here’s a body that loves you.”

lyrics

Time it rolls on
Close your eyes until it’s gone
Sitting in the cafes
Reading on a rainy day
Walk out in the streets
Where nobody looks at me
There’s a big wheel not turning
Where the river isn’t churning
There's a worm inside my head
Repeating everything I said
Fingers driven through the streams
Moments passing in between

I just wanna
Dance with somebody
It’s you
I want a body to talk to
And I just wanna do away
With my body
For you
Here’s a body that loves you

Shrugged against the tide
Struggled with the urge to die
No such thing as too much coffee
Need to get those irons off me
I’m a worm you cut in half
While I’m watching my head laugh
My body wants the earth
Once it’s exchanged for all it’s worth

I just wanna
Dance with somebody
It’s you
I want a body to talk to
And I just wanna do away
With my body
For you
Here’s a body that loves you

And I just wanna
Dance with somebody
It’s you
I want a body to talk to
And I just wanna do away
With my body
For you
Here’s a body that loves you

Now reach out your hands
‘Cause you're wonderful
