Unspoken Definites

Taunting waves and toying with chances
Night and day and night
I can't help it, can we really help it?
The thinning distance between you and I

This is the color of my silver lining made of gold
Here comes the storybook hero that I once was told of
And I roll away descend the pull of gravity
Insert denial here the things even the blind can see

I've got everything to lose
So why not lose it anyway, why not?
All I needed from you was to sing
What I had to say

Evasive as I may seem, it seems there is no need
To hide such things
From you like undisguising
The obvious
Tease the naked
Chase the jaded one

This is the time of the night when I pretend to sleep so sound
Riding a carousel too many times so roundabout
And I roll away and leave behind security
Fading in and out, I wait for you to fall for me

Take me down the road
Of when you were younger
When you loved her so
All I needed from you was to sing
Everything

Forgive the child in your woman
Your woman is a child
If you know so much better
Then why are you here now?

Why are you here now?
Oh, why are you here now?
