Fingers graze and pull away
lips may touch but who’s to say
if we’re feeling anything
I can see you
but not too clearly
you’re too close to focus
and that’s just fine in my mind
don’t come any closer
it isn’t the right time
but don’t dare leave me behind
to toss and turn alone
--
don’t speak to me on even ground
don’t roll along like you’ve grown up
acting like something good is coming
we’re moving
but never closer together
--
honey darling baby maybe
oh forget it cause you don’t need me
you don’t want me hunting
through morning noon and evening
for a little touch to catch up on
a tiny something I can hold
pull in and keep close
it ain’t right
oh it ain’t fair
and I don’t care
I’m trying to not care
but still you call and talk
and come over whenever you want
speak like there’s nothing coming
but there’s something brewing beneath
the words we rehearse every week
heard you practicing your lines
and I think you’re doing fine
just add more feeling
so everyone can feel it
whenever you walk on stage
