steps on the pavement

maybe a handshake

eyes to the floor

opening that door

ask the right questions

saying my first lines

do we want another drink

that must be a sign

slowly taking off

knowing you don't fall in love

with the reality

but the image you've got of me

slowly taking steps

knowing we just met

because the reality

is not that image you've got of me

steps on my stairway

far from feeling safe

the things we don't like

They are easier to find

I can tell a different story

leave certain things out

filling in the blanks

sneaky holding hands

slowly taking off

knowing you don't fall in love

with the reality

but the image you've got of me

slowly taking steps

knowing we just met

because the reality

is not the image you've got of me

meeting someone new

is meeting a part of yourself

getting to know you

is finding about my other half

slowly taking off

knowing you don't fall in love

with the reality

but the image you've got of me

slowly taking steps

knowing we just met

because the reality

is not the image you've got of me
