Skinny Black Dress

Over your thighs
Is a skinny black dress
I've seen what's beneath it
You like it the best
When I kiss what's inside you
But you never ask
Cause you're young and you're patient          
And I'm out of breath
There's a fog that's between us
It's thick and it's tough
And it won't go away 
until I break things off.

And I know that you're 
Better than the way that you seem
When you're just around me
Why do I sound so cynical


Because all you left were shadows
On the floor
Now there's no one here to save me 
Anymore 

Open the curtains and dry off your tears
Look at the people
Do you think the years have 
Gotten the best of us
Eaten us whole
I wish it would spit us right out 
At a candlelit dinner
With you and your folks
And you say that I tell the most awful jokes 


And you know that I'm better than the way that I seem
When it's just me and you
Why do we sound so cynical 


Because nobody was ever keeping score
Now no ones here to save me anymore

So come back to see me
When you're feeling fine
I'll give you your shirts
And we'll open this bottle of wine
But it won't be enough 
To get us both drunk
Now we're talking in circles
And filling the squares
Next to yes and no question
But who really cares


And I know that you're better than the way that you seem
When you're just around me
Why do you sound so cynical?

Because nobody was ever keeping score
Now no ones here to save me anymore
