Sucker Punch

She sits on a bench, waiting for your next word. The world surrounding you is chaotic, yet the bubble you're in is so calm, so serene. Bass lines fade out and she watches your face as you try to speak...but your mouth is empty. She smiles and turns away, knowing you have something to say. She'll wait. In her sweater and boots she sits there nervous, and you know it. You won't say anything. Instead you turn her around and you make her see stars.

too used to lonely

You made it seem so great...
Talked about it as if it were what I needed
Sold me with a few lines
Told me there'd be no goodbyes
I bought in

You made it seem so right...
Walked with me as if it were natural
Put your hand in mine
Lost all track of time
I fell right in

It's been fun and it's been good
But I'm feeling a little scared of you
I'm not used to this, not used to this
at all
and well, you've been great and you've been nice
But you're getting too close to this heart of mine
and I'm not sure I can let you in just yet
so take a few steps back
take a few steps back
