lyrics

tested words in a little prayer
I bent my nerves to a champagne stare
as I pace down a dark hall, in my mind
I'm losing track of how to keep calm
tied to correspondence
a restless heart, my only constant
a long pause amid the chaos
for the kind of smile that could save us

could it play out in the best way
or did I ask on the wrong day
brief and quick to the point now
I'm hoping she'll help me somehow
to find some peace in the season
of changing leaves and our sleeve lengths
patiently by my desk with
a pencil, paper and wandering thoughts

will I be waiting for such a long time
to see that she'd never be mine
or will I find that there's something more to
Our first glance through a window at sundown
your wavy dress down to the ground
and smiles awfully sure and long

shuddered with a sense of rhythm
I counted ways that I could overcome
a slow retreat from an honest bet
and she hasn't even answered yet

I keep my sense towards a true north
a solid risk could be a reward
iffy but introspection
convinced me to put my sense in
I'd like the treat of some contact
serious if you're about that
for now I'll wish I could rewind
to this exact moment in time

our first glance through a window at sundown
your wavy dress down to the ground
and smiles awfully sure and long
in no way am I playing at some game
I'm loving just knowing your name
but I hope to hear from you soon
our first glance through a window at sundown
your wavy dress down to the ground
and smiles awfully sure and long
in no way am I playing at some game
I'm loving just knowing your name
but I hope to hear from you soon
