lyrics

Shifting out my lane to match you in motion
Moving towards a beam crossing at the same sign
Smoke clears through the screen, watching pictures in motion
Highlight, play it back, this is far from an accident

Tripped over your trust, call it faulty motion
Pixel perfect? Flesh and bone and it’s dreamlike
Sorry, getting weak, can you pronounce emotion?
Call, I’ll pick you up, we’ll sing at the same time

Drift, feel the entire appeal
Of an invite
That’s right, it’s who who they know

Staring at god
Oh angel beckons
Windswept up
Let something happen

I got shook by the signs
Enraptured by the lines she read right through my eyes
I’m so quick to deny
Flattered by the lines you sent right to my eyes

Couldn’t stay inside, race for excessive motion
Falling, yeah we won, the hex is gone!
A yes and one “excitedly”, what a notion
Lighting fireworks, they were confused

I looked in all directions
Thought lost, til I saw what had to be my reflection
And it never looked like that
So I dove right in

I got so lost on the coattails of you as if meticulously crafted to lead us both towards royal blues

You were effortless
To comb through a maze I knew so well,
I could only tiptoe
For one false turn, a stutter step, a mere mismovement could end this delusion

But I took it upon myself, called out, found myself back where I’ve been
I heard the worst possible sound, it was nothing at all

I searched for reason upon reason
Agonizing until I realized there didn’t need to be one
Maybe we just missed the timing
Or maybe there was nothing to miss
There’s a play here that flickers where clouds conjure
Batting the eye of the storm you chose to sleep in, stagnant and selfless
As the tempest thins you are greeted as if expected all along and it is yours
Move forward

So what if she’s not bedside window
With motions that match yours, but rather a face-down still in defense
Attack it yourself, if the signs make sense

Not a fake, she’s just nice
Blinded by the lines you meant right to my eyes

If you love her let her go
You don’t love her don’t let her go
