YOUR GREEN LIGHTS
I was breaking
my deficits were surely down to her
I was waking
and suddenly tracing every string back to you
Moving in tangents
waltzing with strangers through music aisles
But I’m signal blind and I can’t see
your green lights
in your blue eyes
Resurrected,
and I find myself browsing again
I know names now,
and I forget them, but at least that’s a start
Moving through circuits new and old,
fumbling for sparks and footholds
But I’m signal blind and I can’t see
your green lights
in your blue eyes
if they’re there at all
vinyl hissing through a warm sweet evening
talking til the temperature’s freezing
I love not knowing what you’re thinking
but it’s killing you
getting washed up on the rocks
self control picks these locks
why ruin this gorgeous tension
‘though it’s killing me
‘though it’s killing me
‘though it’s killing me
But I’m signal blind and I can’t see
your green lights
in your blue eyes
in your blue eyes…
in your blue eyes…
if they’re there at all…
