I’ve seen the sun go down as pretty as before, while every second since has been an utter bore.
I am so unconcerned with my sappy statements since that night. I can hear your breath in my heaving chest. Well every coward counts all his moments left. I don’t know my mind. I don’t know the rest.
Well, if you wonder how it feels when I flee, it’s another dance stumbling over plans.
Maya, I..uh, I…uh. Maya, I…uh, I…uh.
I…uh want, I…uh want, I…uh want. I wanna take your hand.
I’ll try ya, try ya, try ya. Maya, I…uh, I…uh.
I…uh want, I…uh want, I…uh want. I wanna take your hand and place it in mine.
I’ll fumble with my words as you gather speed. I can see your eyes, maybe I’m seeing things.
Somehow I’m unaware of how unaware you choose to be. And if you look too close, you’ll find there’s nothing there.
Please don’t catch my eyes, please don’t catch me stare. Please don’t catch me stare.
It’s hard to see the silver lining past the glare.
And to realize that only every soul is scared.
If you know now how it feels when I retreat, It is a wonder, babe, what you’d even say.
Maybe you’ve been as apparent as can be and maybe I just can’t content myself to see
That the distance between us lessens with each beat, but I keep muttering.
As every melody comes swelling past the seats and all your fingers feel like simple, major keys
all my confidence betrays the songs I sing cause I keep stumbling.
Maya, love, I know I wander through the streets like a motive; I just circle and repeat.
Well, if you wonder how it feels when I flee, now quit your wondering. Now, quit your wondering.
No more wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Now quit your wondering. Your wondering. Your wondering.
