Where is your true point of view
And is it with us in the room
As I talk to myself
What’s worth the effort to you
Commitment to staying aloof
I guess
From who’s in pursuit
I’m impatient
My mind races
Wide awake
I’m wired
Need conversation
Concentration
Give and take
Let’s go go go
Need that push and pull
You’re watchin' cooking shows
You’re good lookin
I’m too bookish
Do I make you tired
That’s the way it goes
What’s the latest though
What works to excite you
Good talk
We’re almost on a roll
Not confrontational
Just observational
I see what you show
Could we unmask
I’d love that
So I'm not alone exposed
What’s on your mind that you hide when you speak
At least be real if we can’t be deep
You say that it’s fine that’s kind of a leap
I’d rather be in fights than resigned and asleep
Been on our phones
Scrolled for a bit
Show me a joke
Dopamine hit
Good for a laugh
Is that gunna be it
Is that gunna be it
We both know
So many ways to let it go it go it goes
Some days I can’t and do the most the most the most
Press the button
Go for broke
Make a wave
Throw a rope
Say let’s jump in
But you say nope nope nope
Help me grow my patience
I learn to cope frustrated
Hold on tight
T o stubborn hope
