Direct Address Lyrics
You know it's unfair that I am here and you are there.
I feel short in the exchange- I show you mine you walk away.
I'm wearing mine out on my sleeve, you're wearing yours where I can't see,
but I'll remember your face for years to come
and wonder what you thought about when you got home.Honestly is like a kiss on the lips.
Come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is.
Now I'm barely breathing, I'm moving ahead,
but if I see you smile, it's gonna knock me dead.
I'm stiff in my tracks trying to recover
from whatever drug you used to put me under.I don't believe in love at first sight.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
It's hard enough for me to not fall in love with every person I see.I let my mind get turned inside out
just to see what the kids were laughing about.
It wasn't worth understanding something
I could've gone my whole life not knowing.You know what they say about curiosity.
That murderer had his chokehold on me.
I ran away without looking back,
but every now and then I want what I can't have.I'm still thinking of a man from years ago-
eyes open wide in the front row,
dark features, leaning on the doorframe.
I would've sold my soul to know his first name.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
Maybe I would if you looked at me right.
