Warsaw

You, when you listen In the color of sorrow You're over me You, with eyes through Leaning forward not giving in wholly You, you're something You mean something Genuinely showing me Genuinely open to you Here, sing to yourself Tell me you want to be shown or You only listen to an endless sea you want to be over He is over you He is over you I want to be over you I want to show you Pull me over you Arms all over you I want to show you I love you silently

There was your breath on the back of my neck The only one holding, the only one I had felt in years It's not because I always hold on It might be I always hold out It might be I always hold out I am biting my lip As confidence is speaking to me I loosen my grip from my palm Put it on your knee In my way, I say You're the reason why I'll move to the city or Why I'll need to leave You're the reason why I'll move to the city or Why I'll need to leave So what's with the eyes in the back of the room? The only ones trying, the only ones I have let in years It's not because I always give up It might be I always give out It might be I always give out It might be I always give out It might be I always give out
