Let yourself go
You've got to open up your heart
That's all I know
Trust what I say and do what you're told
Baby, and all your dirt will turn
Into gold.”

Context: Simon was looking at Jace as if he were both fascinating and also a little alarming. 'Did I-- did we ever-- did I bite you?'
Jace touched the scar on his throat. 'I can't believe you remember that.'
'Did we... roll around on the bottom of a boat?'
'Yes, you bit me, yes, I kind of liked it, yes, let's not talk about it again,' said Jace.
