I stood beside you like an omen
Always one step behind
I thought if you turned, you'd catch it
The glint inside my eye

A silent glance in my direction
My finger to my lips
Beckons every thrumming heartbeat
To cater to the trip

I said, "I know what it looks like
When the world all crumbles down"
I thought maybe you'd seen it
The worry in my brow

Happiness hides the fear
So well that you might miss
I laughed, "I know what it looks like–
It's an awful lot like this."
