You speak and I sing.
Not always sweetly.
I don’t always sing sweetly.
When you sing you weep.
Not always gently.
Then why would you sing gently.
Im so sick and tired.
of these god damn kids.
that kiss and tell and think they mean it.
I cant wait to show them how to mean it.
I cant wait to really really mean it.
with you.
When I see I believe.
But not always quickly.
I don’t always see quickly.
When I see my eyes deceive.
Because I saw you and me.
I saw what I wanted to see.
I swing and I sway and I swear that Im close enough.
You’re a beast that Ill slay and your set and youll waste it all.
You swing and I sway and you swear that Im close enough.
Its your mouth but ill say what you’d say anyway we’re tossed.
Yeah we’re lost.
