like a pirate's hat Lyrics

The silent sounds of footsteps echo where you’ve been

My porchlight’s broken but i’ll still let you in

You held your hands pointed like a pirate’s hat

Always looking straight ahead, i wonder how you walk like that

But you’ll be holding my hand before you have a chance to say no

I’m the one for you my darling, though i never told you so

And i’ll be walking down your street, i’ll be waiting for you to notice me

Your self-portrait was impressive, blue ink and turpentine

In a photo of your friends you held a hand that felt like mine

I wrote you a letter, then i threw it away

Hoping you’d dig through my trash and know what i meant to say

The days are oppressive and the nights get even worse

It seems our relationship is headed in reverse

I lost my address book and you never knew my number

This tidal wave of anxiety is pulling me under
