Eyes in the Blue Light: An Inner Dialogue

Blue light from the corner store And you stared at the bedroom wall I saw something in your eyes I’d seen a thousand times before Place bets to guess what crossed your mind But I beat you to the finish line So I ask and then you laugh and tell me something about your credit score And I’m trying to keep from saying something But my eyes just keep on welling up And I know that it’s no big deal But what if I never, I never know you What if we get close but only close enough to touch Cracking you open, sweet as a slow dance The more I learn, the more I know I’ll never know enough No, no, no, no, no, no, no
