Watch Your Step

In a heartbeat

In the smallest movement of your hand

In a silence

In the wonderful cover of night

Under blankets and sheets

Where i sat at your feet

In that intoxicating place

Where desire and unspoken limits meet

With the dull pewter blue off a muted t.v

Lines redrawn in real time as we adjust our boundaries

In this moment

With a forcefield of brazen uncertainty

In a friends house

In the living room by shaky candle light

Waitin on a friend to leave

Now your legs splay across my lap

My hands rest on your knees

Pendulum pulse in my ears

Like a drunken timpani

Oh to fit snugly beside you

To renege this tacit treaty

With courage and clumsiness

With bravery and stupidity

Woah you better watch your step

You're breaking a heart that you haven't won yet

I say woah you better watch your step

As you're moving past moments that i cannot forget

Surveying your options and hoarding your bets

An autonomous zone between lust and regret

Woah!

There's an album in my head

Of the songs that we sang

I can't quite get the verse

And the chorus seems tame

Every other day or so i google image search your name

But there's only one picture and its always the same

I haven't memorized the lyrics

I downloaded this mp3

Printed out the bass tabs

Faked my way around the key

I'm working on a version that should jog your memory

Although maybe a jog seems ambitious

Maybe we should crawl

Woah you better watch your step

You're breaking a heart that you haven't won yet

I say woah you better watch your step

As you're moving past moments that i cannot forget
