I could be overestimating my appeal Like the man is gorgeous, he’s a steal It’s just I’ve got this gut intuition That I could be gunpowder to his ammunition And is it all attraction or is it something more I could see myself calling to his door And answering him when I pick up the phone Not have to spend every minute alone But he clasps my words like it’s my hands He’s spaciousness and he understands Though he may have made a blunder or two He’s got my number and I’m replying to you
Here lies my truth, at least, so far I walk away but I leave the door ajar So you can come in if you need Don’t think that I can’t see you bleed Over there from afar I’d love to pick you up in my car So we could just go for a drive Revel in the being alive And you smile so truly I almost cave Fall in love with who I try to save As we walk the streets of Liverpool And you’re helluva cool And I could never understand Why you decide to drop my hand And let it all go to waste Do I get to see your face Again, not upon a screen But as real as you could ever dream Do I get to touch your skin And let you know what I am to him Coz we’re all flyers in the wind And is there anyone who hasn’t sinned In some great way or minor You speak the truth and underline her So that I know where to place my pen Forever begins all over again To the sound of Picturehouse You command the screen, I click the mouse But do you think that we could be Together in a way that’s free And I can’t deny the hold he has But is it just karma and all that jazz Is my soulmate someone, you My twin flame to fly back to Somewhere I thought I was But there’s no reason for a just cause Like the moment headlong too When I just fell into you And you laughing caught me there I can tell by the way you hold my stare That we are something for the age Not writing on a white blank page But laughter in the growing old Making memories the future’s told To all that we were back then You were the best, can we do it again?
Darling, you’ve got stars in your eyes And I’m full of existential whys But you are the answer without reason My safe space in open season And I could cacophony the sound But I always want you around In the depths of my consciousness In the moments we exist Whether on the astral plane Or in the summer as the clouds rain And I throw back my head laughing with you And it’s not just coz you want me to There is a sense that together Could be the place beyond the weather And in these shoes that I’m walking Is the memory of the two of us talking Silent and sincere or open hearted It’s like I asked and the oceans parted And if we never come to be Could you still realise what you mean to me In oft tried second glances Or just the air we breathe taking chances Could you smile and let the light shine For me just one more time As you look absolute The one place I’ve found truth In the wisdom of our youth Do you think it’s a just pursuit Or are we just running away Filled with things we cannot say In silence spaces and in highs You and I are not goodbyes
