Slipping softly through my life
I close my eyes
Hoping after a few seconds pass me by
That maybe time could just fly by me
Being scared has its benefits
Almost as good as the benefits with you
We are friends who are lovers
But not lovers who are friends
And I just wanted to see the truth in the end
So maybe the other guys can understand
That there is no one else out there for me
Making everyone understand
Is too much work for me
I say let them think what they want
As they read their magazines
It’s all about trouble
And when you get what you want
It’s easy to stand clear
Over analyzing is what I do best
And hearing what I want to hear
So tell me the words
Give them to me good
Oh how I like your lies
Staring each other down across the table
I can see through your perfect disguise
Give me one good reason
Why I shouldn’t walk away
You can’t offer me anything
That I couldn’t get myself anyway
You don’t offer me anything better
Than what I’m about to begin
Nothing holding me back besides myself
And thinking you are the one
You are so good at breaking promises
I wonder if you have practiced before
The way that you seem to come out on top
Even when I don’t want to hurt anymore
You kiss me up and down
Run your tongue across my skin
But even in the way that you look at me
I know that we both know what it is we are in
It is all a shade of grey
One that we fit into so nicely
And we pretend it’s all a rainbow in the sky
But really the clock keeps time ticking by
I wish I couldn’t see so clear
I wish I never knew
I wish for a lot of things baby
That will never come true
If there was anything for me to say
I would say it here
If there was anything for me to feel
But I don’t know what to do
Because I don’t know which part of us is real
Lover we look at the world together
And we see two very different things
You see snake eyes waiting in the grass
And I see everything that doesn’t make sense
If only everything were as simple
As you and I can be
And yet as I know the simple-ness will end someday
I keep holding onto the thought of being complicated with you
