It's like we know the words and melodies
But we're singing them in half time
I lean in closer
Feel you breathing
But your eyes look away, and I stop on a dime
I believe in the life that we seek
It can far outweigh the risks we take
Could this be everything that I wanted?
Could I be the one you were waiting for?
A different time and place
We can't erase these footsteps anymore
A second glance, a subtle smile
We smuggle knowingly in hindsight
We traffic nuances and sophistry
We steal our escapes
Making use of sleight
Damn the state of our hearts and our minds
As our resolve slowly unwinds
My eyes wide open, its poetry in motion
How our minds could let us pretend my heart's not in it
My mind goes by the minute
Whether I wanna see how this ends
If we can start again when we want to
Then why are we always behind the gun?
If you're holding out for answers
Greener pastures, you're not the only one
