Taste Like You
He shows up at her apartment at midnight with takeout from the restaurant where they met, and when she opens the door, the smell of cardamom and jasmine hits her at the same moment she sees his face — and suddenly she realizes she's been hungry for him, not food, the entire time they've been apart.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You're the taste on my tongue at 2 AM
When my mouth's too dry and I reach for you again
Your cologne in my hair like a souvenir
I'm still wearing yesterday, can't let it disappear
Chorus
You taste like you
Everything I'm hungry for
You taste like you
I keep coming back for more
Like a flavor I can't shake
Like a thirst I can't break
You taste like you
You taste like you
Verse 2
We were strangers at the table, now you're under my skin
Your fingertips trace constellations, pull me in
I'm addicted to the silence, the way you breathe
Your heartbeat is the only meal I need
Chorus
You taste like you
Everything I'm hungry for
You taste like you
I keep coming back for more
Like a flavor I can't shake
Like a thirst I can't break
You taste like you
You taste like you
Bridge
Don't leave my lips
Don't fade away
I'm starving for the man you are
Not what you say
Stay on my tongue
Stay in my veins
You're the only recipe I know by name
Outro
You taste like you
You taste like you
