lyrics

you marvel at the prospect
of looking me in my sad eyes
holding a map in my blind spot
you look me over lengthwise

and your sweet remarks falling from your lips
can’t spare me my problems

half-hearted, half pure
but you’re holding the door for me

ohhh x2

don’t close your eyes this time
we’ll meet halfway there
but I’m terrified and bare
so please whisper softly in the cool morning air

I can’t expect you to tell me
what made you fall for me
tone-deaf and trapped in your old skin
you lean in and kiss my left cheek

and I can’t recall what you’ve done for me
besides all the things that I don’t need
cold shoulder, cold hands
and I don’t understand why you
do
what you do

don’t close your eyes this time
we’ll meet halfway there
but I’m terrified and bare
so please whisper softly in the cool morning air
