Lip

We'll never know unless I'll know real soon
Face to face with the prospect of moons
You left me no space, alternatives vanishing
Without a trace, in your room...

Now how do you feel
Any nights without sleep?
Oh, you have eyes! I wonder what they see
Foolin' me into believing you're wiser
Than all these men could be...

You had me biting my lip one day
- and ever since
In remeberance of that night
Whenever stage lights change I see your face

Discouraging distance
Then a breathtaking glance!
Sideways - always never to be caught
But sent to keep a young woman floating
Dwelling at your face
In her phantom search for grace
- that's me...

And why do I think
My happiness is measured by this:
A small sign from you
Notifying you'll leave her
For an hour or two
And me, I jeopardize
Much more than my pride
More than my passion, doing what I do now

You keep me biting my lip these days...

Better I was regretful
Better it had ended there
But I recognize in you
My yearning and my fear
And though it's nothing there to build upon
I feel something within, somewhere
That I cannot look beyond...

And it weakens me!
And it takes me on it's ride
Was I powerless before
- tell me now what do you see?
Watchin' you go back
Your pocket holds a piece of me
Hiding it from your lady, irritation she reads!
And I wonder will you need
To ever hide from me?

You have me biting my lip these days...

And I wish I could say
That it's more to this than your beauty
But I have to admit I really don't know you
But I recognize the same
Melancholic, distant shapes
So perfectly placed between
The boy and the man...
...that seem to always amaze me...

You had me biting my lip one day
- and ever since
In remembrance of that night
Whenever stage lights change I see your face
And now the stage lights
Change upon your face...
