lyrics

barefoot & tiptoeing round
the backyard careful not to make a sound
pack of matches all but lit
you've smoked for so long
shouldnt you now quit
by the pool with you feet submerged
but you wont swim you think your body is absurd
your sleeves over your hands its a nervous twitch
when you feel exposed and you are trying to quit
biting your bottom lip
...
wont you defy, expectations
wont you try, to avoid confrontations
if i am yours, wont you be mine
it'd be cause for celebrations
...
you take the cake but you wont eat
you say there is a difference between want and need
your looking up your family tree
to avoid your grandparents parents fatalities
you say things are good i say things are great
your looking for a god i'm looking for just one more date
an evening in with silent films
red or white room temperature or chilled
if it pleases you do it i will
...
black suit for me and long gown for you
not exactly what we've been accustomed to
you tuck your hair in behind your ear
and say this is where i belong let me be clear
with an air of confidence and void of fear
...
