Stand Still

I'll admit that I'm not great at keeping secrets,
But I will keep this one close to the vest,
And I know that I can't ask too much of you,
If I want your respect,
So we can hang in silence instead,
Still sometimes curiosity takes over,
And I embolden myself to ask,
Do you concur that this don't occur too often?
Or is it just my imagination?
And I mistook this for a great connection
No, we just keep walking,
We can change the topic move on to something else,
Oh, you just keep talking,
And I'm pretending I've moved on to something else,
I'll admit that I'm more supple than subtle,
And I know that sometimes I lay it on thick,
Do you notice? Do you know that sometimes
You encourage this,
And sometimes I think you even like it
No, we just keep walking,
We can change the topic move on to something else,
Oh, you just keep talking,
And I'm pretending I've moved on to something else,
We can hang in silence instead,
Dare I say you even like it,
I mistook this for a great connection,
I will stand still and you will run

Closeness

Come in quiet up the stairs,
Foot falls like a whisper,
But the creaky floors betray your careful feet,
And you're entering already defeated,
Back's turned to the wall again,
You know you gotta take care of yourself before you get in bed,
You just wanted closeness,
And you don't wanna ask for it again,
You fake a sad, sad smile,
So apologetic,
When you try to ask for it again,
Try to come alive in the face of deadness,
When do you decide to call it quits?
When it seems like there never is
A right time to draw a hard line in the sand,
When we're not even at the beach, and frankly,
It don't look like a picnic out there,
Trekking on your own,
Collecting baggage,
You just wanted closeness,
And you don't wanna ask for it again,
You fake a sad, sad smile,
So apologetic,
When you try to ask for it again,
Try to come alive,
You just wanted closeness,
And you don't wanna ask for it again,
You fake a sad, sad smile,
So apologetic,
When you try to ask for it again,
Try to come alive
You just wanted closeness,
And you don't wanna ask for it again,
You fake a sad, sad smile,
So apologetic,
When you try to ask for it again,
Try to come alive in the face of deadness,

Trigonometry

Try to be forthright,
Try to be fair,
Don't want to lead you on,
Don't want you in my hair,
Don't want to complicate it,
Get caught in the crossfires,
Cause this will burn out before it burns us,
I'm not much of a catch,
Unless you like a little less,
Than what you normally get,
Because I take a lot for myself,
Does that sound desirable?
I don't really think so,
And this will burn out before it burns us,
And yeah if one plus one is three then fuck me,
That's too much,
Cause I can't handle trigonometry or lust,
And year if one plus one is three then fuck me,
That's too much,
Cause I don't know how to study and I've got bad luck,
Try to be honest,
Try to be kind,
Try to set boundaries,
Pray to god that you find them,
Cause I don't want to have to say it,
Save us from embarrassment,
Cause this will burn out before it burns us,
And yeah if one plus one is three then fuck me,
That's too much,
Cause I can't handle trigonometry or lust,
And year if one plus one is three then fuck me,
That's too much,
Cause I don't know how to study and I've got bad luck,
Try to be quiet,
Try to shut up and listen,
But anxiety drowns out sound,
So you know you're not missing out
