Come on Get Higher Lyrics

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you...

    He sounds like he's a bottom who feels a little guilty, but doesn't care:
    As you breathe out and I breathe in.
    Just pull me down hard.
    Loosen my lips.
    Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
    Drown me in love.
    It's all wrong, it's so right.
    I see angels and devils
    And God, when you come on...
    Everything works in your arms.

    In all honesty, yes, I see where the whole "missing sex" part is present, but lyrics are a form of poetry. There's more than one meaning. It could be about making love, or just simply love.
    "Faith and desire and the swing of your hips": Loyalty, feeling and being wanted and love, two of the things of a relationship that make it solid, not to mention the little things noticed that make you fall harder, like the way she walks.
    "Everything works in your arms": Her arms, the one place everything feels safe and real and home. Need I say more?
    "Just pull me down hard/and drown me in love": Again, yes, sex, but love is so complex, so mysterious, so deep and amazing and beautiful and dangerous. "Pull me" could be referring to pulling him into her arms where, again, "Everything works". "Hard" could be referring to falling hard in love. "Drown me in love" depicts the deepness of love, how much love consumes you, fills you, makes you do crazy things. How it can lift you up, make you stronger. How it can consume you, destroy you.
    "All the violent, sweet/perfect words that you said": Everything good, everything bad. I miss everything.

    It really depends on who you are. Lyric interpretations are different for everyone. There's the intended meaning, the common meaning, and the personal meaning. So, yeah, the intended and common meanings are missing a relationship, particularly the sex. But to me, personally, there's more than that. It's missing someone, loving someone, wanting to be with them. It's about falling in love, and wanting to go home.

    He is reflecting on whats makes him crazy in love and the problems they are having she is not believing in him and she left so he is reflecting on her voice and the way she sways her hips the little things that makes him fall deeper and harder for her
