Balladeer
There's a hesitancy to our thing
We're a playing card deck missing a king
And it takes something out of me to be close to you
But I won't rule it out yet unless you want me to
Probably see you on Wednesday anyway
In a car with the dashboard lit
I swear to god it's electric shit
A sudden heat piercing the dark
I reach over, you put it in park
I will take you while I have you
And I'm surprised to be here
But I don't mind at all
I'm a balladeer
I can take the fall
There's an ache inside my head
And it's you on the timpani knocking 'em dead
It's a dazzling thing
Your give in grin
Leftover pad Thai stuck on your chin
I just like getting to know you
At what point in the chronology
Do I make room for you, do you get real for me?
Specs of toothpaste on the bathroom mirror
Fixating or running out of here
I don't need you to be my counselor
And I'm surprised to be here
But I don't mind at all
I'm a balladeer
I can take the fall
And I'm surprised to be here
But I don't mind at all
I'm a balladeer
I can take the fall
