lyrics

White swan under black lights
I go to watch you dance every Tuesday night
The joy lifts me to the ceiling
When I leave I return to a hollow feeling

The world slows when you hit the stage
Twice the one I’ll ever be, still half my age
A bouquet of bills undress
The wink you give it says, “I’ll see you after the set”

Where the dark curtains close
What we uncover here, nobody knows
Are we two unlikely souls?
I sit on my hands of roses

Counting petals as I pay
To practice words I could never say

Soft breath touching my cheek
Is the only voice that ever asks about my week
You praise me for who I am
Saying I am proof that there are still such things as gentlemen

In a place where lines are blurred
I give respect that you deserve
I know the day will come when you’ll leave

I can’t blame you either after all
This work is but a means
To an end and when the end comes
I’ll find out what it means

To be a part of the give and take
Held within these darken doors
I tell myself not to mistake
Think we could be something more

The closest thing to love I’ve ever known
Will be a memory that lingers
Fading with your perfume
Trapped in my clothes
