Familiar Strangers
Revel in the mess we made;
Red lipstick in the devil's shade
Impressions of reciprocation -
My guilty hesitations
Familiar strangers hold a pause
Like silence really says it all
A question I’ve been holding in
Comes slipping out between my lips:
“Just before you go, I just wanna know
Is there something more between us?
Just before you leave, I just wanna see
Do you see yourself with me?”
And now things are a little weird;
Words return but seem hard to hear
Pretentions of infatuation;
Misreading situations
Familiar strangers hold their breath
Like waiting games are all that's left
A question I've been holding in
Comes slipping out between my lips
“Just before you go, I just wanna know
Is there something more between us?
Just before you leave, I just wanna see
Do you see yourself with me?”
She says “I wish we could be more than friends
But unless you cancel your commitments – that’s just how this ends
I will find you in the skin of someone new -
The warmest flesh. Familiar news.”
“Just before you go, I just wanna know
Is there something more between us?
Just before you leave, I just wanna see
Do you see yourself with me?”
