Watch Your Step

In a heartbeat
In the smallest movement of your hand
In a silence
In the wonderful cover of night
Under blankets and sheets
Where i sat at your feet
In that intoxicating place
Where desire and unspoken limits meet
With the dull pewter blue off a muted t. v
Lines redrawn in real time as we adjust our boundaries
In this moment
With a forcefield of brazen uncertainty
In a friends house
In the living room by shaky candle light
Waitin on a friend to leave
Now your legs splay across my lap
My hands rest on your knees
Pendulum pulse in my ears
Like a drunken timpani
Oh to fit snugly beside you
To renege this tacit treaty
With courage and clumsiness
With bravery and stupidity
Woah you better watch your step
You’re breaking a heart that you haven’t won yet
I say woah you better watch your step
As you’re moving past moments that i cannot forget
Surveying your options and hoarding your bets
An autonomous zone between lust and regret
Woah!
There’s an album in my head
Of the songs that we sang
I can’t quite get the verse
And the chorus seems tame
Every other day or so i google image search your name
But there’s only one picture and its always the same
I haven’t memorized the lyrics
I downloaded this mp3
Printed out the bass tabs
Faked my way around the key
I’m working on a version that should jog your memory
Although maybe a jog seems ambitious
Maybe we should crawl
Woah you better watch your step
You’re breaking a heart that you haven’t won yet
I say woah you better watch your step
As you’re moving past moments that i cannot forget
