We talk a lot
Like kids in the parking lot
We circle each other
Never getting close to the other
Afraid of another letdown
So we keep it light
While I wait for my phone to light
With notifications of you
Breath held for replies from you
And I feel like a comedian
Forever playing fool
Cuz it’s easier to be a clown
Than to ever tell you
I could never refuse you
Even if you think I reuse the same lines
Even if you don’t want me
I could never front you
Another midnight hour
Keeping up our
Eternal dances
