My hands used to be tied with a sinking feeling
Caught up by unchecked complications
In my runaway mind
Leftover illusions torn from jagged times
But now my feet are walking patterns to your door
Geometric diagrams I trace across the floor
And now I’m kissing you in crowded rooms
Because we don’t need to be alone
I never look at anything but you
When I can I’ll wake up next to you
in the morning I’ll smell like your perfume
And these walls I’ve set in anxious stone
Don’t seem to phase your simple smile
So I’ll tuck you away inside a dream I’ll keep
Until your heart can stay for awhile
Still my feet are walking patterns to your door
Geometric diagrams I trace across the floor
Now I’m kissing you in crowded rooms
Because we don’t need to be alone
I never look i never look i never look i never look
i never look at anything but you
