He always gets so mad things you laugh at. |
|
"Don't get so worked up." you'd say. |
|
But on the back deck you admit that you haven't felt much |
|
Like laughing lately anyway. |
|
And so I say, "that could change." |
|
I noticed how you waste no time making your way across the room. |
|
You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you. |
|
And it isn't no coincidence where you finally choose to stand. |
|
I guess soon you will be leaving your man. |
|
It's a sweet smile and then a denial. |
|
Hey, you are just trying to be nice. |
|
But there is a meaning to every fleeting action you unconsciously decide. |
|
The clocks they chime. Now it's time. |
|
I know you try and play it cool but there are |
|
some thoughts you just can't hide. |
|
Only in your closest friends do you confide. |
|
The way you say you'll be seeing me. |
|
Oh like it's so offhand. |
|
I guess soon you will be leaving your man. |
|
You stare at me so boldly now. |
|
You have no lack of confidence. |
|
It's just those lessons on sublety you missed. |
|
I know you dream of saving me. |
|
Like I'm some plane that you could land. |
|
But when you fly you'll be leaving your man. |
