lyrics

VERSE 1

Lead: Cards fall in shades of three
Backup: Like strands of your hair, wound through my fingertips
Lead: With all of your stolen parts
Backup: You’d think they’d be able to find you

Lead: But they can’t
Backup: So I will

Lead: Knowing you is half of what
Backup: Makes my hands move in time
Lead: If you were only able to see
Backup: Through your inconsistency

Lead: But you can’t

CHORUS

push and pull
lips eyes wait stop
and fall to me

I know you’ll see
apart from me
there is no one
that sees what you’ll be

and then you say
wait for me
lips eyes wait stop
and fall to me

VERSE 2

Lead: I know I can never be
Backup: The girl you want or what you need
Lead: stopping before you even start
Backup: what’s the point, you’ll never see

Lead: so you can’t
Backup: but I will

Lead: it doesn’t matter anyway
Backup: you’ll fall again, again my prey
Lead: I’m too kind to let you go
Backup: or perhaps not enough to let you know
