lyrics

One hand intertwined with the other
Just a moment if you’d be so kind
You slyly ask if there’s a reason that I’m nervous
And close the distance as the rain subsides
You bite your lip into a smile
And gaze intently into my eyes
And lurking underneath your coy look of apprehension
Lies the ravenous void of unwavering emptiness

Please stop smiling at me
Please stop laughing at my jokes
I’ve had such a great time
But I think I'd rather go
I’ve been here for too long
I really think I’ve had enough
It’s been years
Can I buy you lunch

I place one foot before the other
Pivot on my heels and try to flee
It was pleasure running it you
You close the distance I’d rather keep
You bare your teeth into smile
And gaze hungrily into my eyes
Beneath the serene waters of your calm expression
Lies the ravenous void of unwavering emptiness

Pleasure running into you
You look great
A trick of the light
A flick of the wrist
I can’t get it right
I’m crossing the street
Your eyes are a blue million miles
Of ocean gyres and angler fish
A trick of the light
A flick of the wrist
I can’t get it right
I’m crossing the street
