Push Play

Your words come quick and easy

While mine are twisted and clumsy

It’s been some time since I last heard your voice

Everything else just seems like noise

 

Maybe I’m overreacting

Or maybe you’ve forgotten

But tell my why you’ve fallen for me

The way I keep falling, falling for you

 

I hope you care enough to catch me

In your arms before I hit the ground

I’m scared that you’ll leave without a single sound

That what we had was just a foul

 

A strike in one of these deadly games

Please, don’t waste your time on me

Yet without you, it wouldn’t be the same

I need you to stay can’t you see?

 

So push play on my silver stereo

And a little thing called music will show you how I feel

It’s confusing, I know

And all the while, I’m head over heels

 

Keep my pieces together

They’re still being repaired

I hope you’re capable of my endeavor

If not, it’s just a candle being burned

 

Waiting to scream out
Why’d you have to start a fire now?

I may be asking too much

But I need your warmth in this cold air

You’re my chance to get out of this bad luck

Even if you disagree, it’s what I deserve

 

I’ll keep your picture with me

Deep in my pockets, buried in my thoughts

To remind me of what we can be

Let’s put our magic together and see what we can concoct

I’m lacking the confidence

Will you help me out?

Our recipe might start to make sense

 

I’ll stir up the ingredients of your smile

While you sprinkle the meaning of these words

What we have has spilled all over the kitchen tiles

For us to see what this is worth

 

Put your hand in mine

We’ve made something of this mess

Your eyes tell me its time

To let go of all this distress.
