Sometimes I swear you can't be blind to how I see you

It's only pacing out the time before I'm caught

I know you steal away those eyes

Once I have held them for too long

I hope you know I'd never, ever do you wrong

Sometimes I wish you'd just admit that you enjoy me

Discard that blackbird on your shoulder for a carefree afternoon

I know you're permanent, I'll find you in my letters and my socks

Sometimes I scare myself with my imagination

I grew up so shielded by those pages on my desk

So show me your armor, and stay

The world feels bigger today
