phases Lyrics

I found you bathing in the glow

Of an overhead projector glossin' over Rococo

A sea of silk and pink and cake

And something in the darkness giving me a heartache

I watch you cross and uncross and re-cross your legs

Heart in my throat - oh wow wait no well this feels strange

And then I catch myself, repress I, let it go

It can't be no

Won't let it show

If it's a phase then I'm the moon

I shift shape but stay the same me

Who wants you

I'm floatin' far above the haze

From way up here, things seem so clear oh

I want you

So clear oh, I want

I'm not quite sure of how to start

Girls are hard to read, could you draw me up a flow chart

You say my nerves are pretty cute

As you lift me to the counter, teach me lessons in the bathroom

I watch you cross and uncross and re-cross your legs

I wonder what it'd be like to be between them

And then I catch myself, repress, I let it go

It can't be no

Won't let it show

If it's a phase then I'm the moon

I shift shape but stay the same me

Who wants you

They say both ways, it can't be true

Just pick a side, well, I don't want to

I want you. I want you, I want

You

Cliches, softness, sameness, tongue-tied, took me ages

Cliches, softness, sameness, tongue-tied, took me ages

Cliches, softness, sameness, tongue-tied, took me ages

It took me ages

Took me ages

If it's a phase, well, I'm the moon

I shift shape but stay the same me

Who wants you

The wolves cry fowl, but worship too

It's all the same now, I don't hear them

Can you

I don't hear them

Can you

I don't hear them

I just see you

I just see you

I just see you
