Bea

I'd like to say better late than never late
Never even crossed your mind
Can I bother you for just a second
For a minute of your time?

What was I thinking
When I was thinking
You were thinking about me?
Must have lost myself
In that voice of yours
Or maybe it's just me
I'd like to think that way, I'm sure

Can we dance around the city streets
Of a painted red New York?
Or should I worry? Stand here still
Wait a little while
Let you spend a last night without me
To rest your nameless eyes?

I hesitate
Why do I wait?
Quivering in my knees
I can't breathe
I hesitate
I can't wait
I'll turn around and then
You're gone

If I could make love to your ideas
I would lay them in my bed
And stroke every inch of every word
You've ever said
It's a disaster to adore you
And exhausting to ignore you
When I'm watching, through my fingers,
You walking back to me

And you gave me the opposite of love
I'm a stork standing still
With ambivalence in my cup
And, sure, situations change
Empty spaces hurt
But how would you know
If you never try to make it work?

I hesitate
Why do I wait?
Quivering in my knees
I can't breathe
I hesitate
I can't wait
I'll turn around and then
You're gone

'Cause I want you
Not just another toy
I don't want anymore
Of those pseudo-eclectic boys
I don't wanna play
Anymore stupid little games
But any time I try off of you
I

I hesitate
Why do I wait?
Quivering in my knees
I can't breathe
I hesitate
I can't wait
You'll turn around and I'll be gone
You left me waiting way too long
You'll turn around and I'll be
Gone
I'll be gone
