charade

I know you hear me laughing

 

Scuff my shoes all down this street

 

These temperamental sulfur sidewalks

 

Burn as far as I can see

 

I was dancing, dancing for

 

I was dancing for you

 

Hoping you would notice

 

The searing message that I drew

 

Exaggerations your routine

 

Now I’m acting out for more

 

The finale can’t come in

 

When it’s never left the shore

 

I was dancing, dancing for

 

I was dancing for you

 

I know you had to let me down

 

Now I wish you’d let me up

 

My blind devoted smiles way to easy to corrupt

 

You should deafening predictions that never crossed my mind

 

This teenage charade can never end

 

When you’ve tucked the curtains behind

 

I was dancing, dancing for

 

I was dancing for you

 

Hope you’d come teach me

 

The moves that I already knew
