lyrics

I think I know who you are.
That’s funny cause we’ve barely met.
So please don’t make me work too hard.
This is as close as I’ll get

Is this as close as you’ll get?

I have a plan how to talk.
I’ve mapped out the moves in my head.
So when it all goes wrong I’ll turn off
and I won’t know how to begin.

This is as close as I’ll get.

And it’s all I can see right...
Even in this half light, I can see right.

I think I know who you are,
at least who I want you to be.
So please don’t turn out all that far
from what I imagined to see.

What are you seeing in me?

I have no way I can tell.
I have no way I can sleep.
Some traits about me I could sell,
In return for some traits I could reap.

What are you trying to see?

I think I know how to win
I think I know the secret
Nobody’s noticing it

I think I’ve seen you before.
Pretend like I don’t give a shit.
Cause it seems like the best way to start
is knowing the best way to quit.

This is as close as I’ll get.
