run your fingers through my hair
i don’t have to go anywhere

let’s avoid a tragic fight
i don’t want to give up the moonlight

fear that leaving you would be insincere
so let me be absolutely clear

i’ve don’t want to give you the wrong impression
so don’t judge my facial expression

forward thinking never hurt anyone
so let’s just go out for a run

we could whistle in the dark
let our presence be known in the park

if i skip when i walk
know it’s just a new way to talk

you could savour all the bad
with your tongue so sweet but sad

let’s go out for a smoke
you were never one to choke

kiss me when i’m feeling down
stop pushing me around

let’s go out for a good long time
go out and get arrested for a crime

if the sun doesn’t rise
i hope we don’t get sick of each other’s eyes

i’ll fill you in
with what i know
what i seek
what i truly desire
in the palm of my hand
on the back of my neck
the memories i choose to forget
along with troubles i can’t help but remember
i’ll tell you all of it
with the trust you’ve instilled
my lips go loose
as i reveal it all
nothing remains hidden
i don’t have grandiose adventures
where i lose my way
only to find i was on the right path
the entire time
no, i stay content
with my surroundings
only changing in frustration
in the lackluster of it all
with the wind pushing against
regardless of direction
with all that’s been said
about the brevity of life
why waste telling you the mundane
i want to make the next step count
to exercise all effort and ambition
to stride on with you

do you feel the heat the city emits
you feel new in town still
but it seems everywhere we go
you run into a familiar face

it might feel new
but you fit in
like an old soul
reliving the century

you cast out emotions
over sunsets and rises
the emerge from the lake
to tumble across the escarpments

your house in the north
with industry close
but the community closer
to indulge upon

will the long summer nights
repeat themselves
into the fall weather
with ringing ears

does the winter nip at you
to come outside and embrace
a town you love
that you’ve known
for so little

in tune to one another
running alongside in harmony
it’s just a matter of science
how we continue to operate
on the same frequency

i can’t make any sense of it
mathematical equations confuse
illustrations help to guide
the curves and repetitions
under deep reds

resisting interference
alluding diffraction
in limited resolution
though hand in hand
atoms never touch

ever continuing to grow
in spacial gaps
meant to fade away
but limited by time
invisible on the spectrum

was going to give up
take the year off
try to learn
get ready

but large lips
quick looks
beautiful hair
got me thinking

taste of the flesh
blood to my head
quickly rythmns
in my hands

if i quit now
i’ll get so down
waiting to yearn
for affection

i like to think
i’ve got it all
under control
but i’m wrong

one bad move
i’ll start singing
my swan song
in reverse

miscommunication
to be relocated
when your heart
isn’t in it

what i’ve got now
is a failure
to understand
the past

just look ahead
at my future
in love
in life

tune in next time
same channel
but just know
i’ll be ready to go
