you talk like

not enough for you
if i say i want the risk
hate the safety
want to go
want to run with it
so i careen halfsane
through my work and play
dancing drunken
tossing lines
and notes around your face
when i'm dressed in collared shirts
and my khakis not so pressed
dirty handed dirty minded
cathing glimpses of your breasts
when you bend
when you bend

when you bend
just a little
you will have leaned to me
when you give in
just a little
there i'll be
baby
i made my best friend drive me
lost as hell through the back roads
just in case we did get lucky
and found your drive
on your road
girl
i threw your face into her face
into the faces of the ones
who could forever change
where we're from
you
you talk like you think i
am not so brave
but here i am
heart out on my sleeve
neck out on the block
stupid acts and talk
and you talk like
you don't think
i mean it or think highly
you talk like
you think i
will be safe
and call it righteous
and while i dance
and write you songs
you talk like
you're playing it safe
and calling it righteous
