Perfume Genius’ Video for New Song “On the Floor” song lyrics


“A crush can really live on its own, separate from you and the person you are pining for,” Hadreas said in a press release. “The fantasy feels like its own world, obsession can turn the person you are longing for in to a monument that has less and less to do with them and more to do with the idea of love itself and what it can do, what it can soothe or quiet or light on fire. I wanted to show that maddening, solitary part of desire but keep the core which is a real warmth and belief that you have something crucial to share with each other.”

From Perfume Genius' new album 'Set My Heart On Fire Immediately" released on May 15, 2020 on Matador Records

 “On the Floor” song lyrics

i’m trying but still i close my eyes the dreaming brining his face to mine lock the door the constant buzzing  all through the night the fight it rips me all up inside on the floor i pace, i run my mouth i pray and wait i cross out his name on the page how long ’til this washes away? how long ’til my body is safe? how long ’til I walk in the light? how long ’til this heart isn’t mine? the rise and fall of his chest on me i’m trying but still it’s all i see the violent current of energy i hide it away and underneath lock the door i shake, i promise everyday to change i cross out his name on the page how long ’til this washes away? how long ’til my body is safe? how long ’til I walk in the light? how long ’til this heart isn’t mine? take this wildness away i just want him in my arms
