In a crowd
You lift your finger
Part the shoulders
You come close

And now
You’re moving slowly
Speaking softly
You tap your toes

And say,
“Wanna come over?
I’ve got someone to forget
I don’t even know you
But we could be more than friends”

You said you don’t wanna go too far with me
And I said,
“Let’s go, c’mon, what’s the harm
when you know I scar just as easily?”
So you smiled and held me close
You bit me hard
So I could see

If I liked it
Then you could do it again
And if you liked it
Then we could be more than friends

Congratulations
You made a lover out of a dancer
So please just grant me this
One question unanswered
“Whatever happened to that person
that you tried to forget?”
You said,
“I made a record, I cried,
Then I hoped for the best
But tell me there’s a reason
For saving up and keeping
All these memories
That make you stop breathing
Make you spin and drown
Make you slip and fall
Leave you gaspin’ on the ground
Tell me there’s a reason
For keeping these dreams around”

Tell me
Give me your word
Swear on your name
You’re not the same
