He always gets so mad at things you´d laugh at.
"Don´t get so worked up." you´d say.
but on the back deck you admit that you haven´t felt much
like laughing lately anyway.
And so I say "that could change."

I noticed how you waste no time making your way
across the room. You leave a wake of tongues
still waving after you. And it isn´t no coincidence
where you finally choose to stand. I know soon
you will be leaving your man.

It´s a sweet smile and then a denial. Hey, you
are just trying to be nice. But there is a meaning
to every fleeting action you unconsciously
decide. And the clocks they chime. Now it´s time.

I know you try to play it cool but there are
some thoughts you just can´t hide. Only in your
closest friends would you confide. The way you say
you´ll be seeing me, oh like it´s so offhand. I
guess soon you will be leaving your man.

You stare at me so boldly now. You have no lack
of confidence. It´s just those lessons on sublety
you missed. I know you dream of saving me
like I´m some plane that you could land. But
when you fly you´ll be leaving your man.
