What I would give for a calm conversation with you
You smile so lightly
But your eyes hide a difference
I need a playbook and a glance at the score
Is this just a game?
Because I thought this was reality
Because I thought we were evenly matched

Shame to leave this all behind me
But it's more so shameful to lie and say I have
Notes render me speechless
And the frame picturing a moment that
Depicts beautiful lies
Makes me wonder
Gets me saying out loud
"What I would give for a moment,
A moment with you"

Nothing so shy as simple silhouettes
And nothing so close as little locks devouring forever
Unless you want it that way
Because I'd be up for the opportunity
If you'd so open you eyes to it
I wish I had the courage to tell you this
Because I would give anything
To spend every moment our arms wrapped around each other

Actions speak louder than words
But words are all I got
And past verses come back to accompany them
Leaving me lying to myself
Even when I don't notice I'm doing so
What I would give to share these words with you
What I would give for them to mean
so much to you
Like they do to me
