Proximity

Venture a step into these hallowed halls

Where the flutter, caught fire, calls you by name

The masochist with the shining smile

Can\'t help but play the game

Picking the locks for no reason

How do you plead?

The accused steps forth to say:

I fall in love by proximity

Only have eyes for what\'s in front of me

A glassy eye at the window pane

Sure can\'t stand to see you go

For days on end I\'ll be stuck singing the refrain

But the words I\'ll never really know

Week after week all the signs on the street paint the same memory

A self help memoir called:

I fall in love by proximity

Only have eyes for what\'s in front of me

A shadow cast by an artificial light

It fades throughout the day

But it\'s so sharp in the middle of the night

That no distance seems too safe

A Street lamp a spotlight, the not wrong but not right

The whole daydream

A citizen choir sings:

I fall in love by proximity

Only have eyes for what\'s in front of me
