He's just a people boy and I'm just a people girl And he's breaking my floor I come tumbling down Scraping my elbows and knees along the way Music fills my head with his breath behind it Rhythm pounding inside my skin Traveling through my veins Paced for a race and wild like flames His lips are soft but I wouldn't know Voice that crawls into my ears And makes my bones sing right out loud Eyes that make me shiver when they find mine Smooth and sweet he hides on the other side Rain falls steady blinding Bitter and rough I try to get there Impossible he stands tall so I can see Sleep calls out to me Deep and deeper I breathe through a straw He floats on past me head above water Slippery indifferent are my hands that reach Silence fills up our space Speech boiling stuffy beneath our tongues The world watches unknowing as I struggle No telling whether he can hear Falling farther than ever Were almost out of reach Tossing in sleep that pulls at our dreams Idle idealistic from a distance I am the outsider My footsteps are everywhere lost He's walking ahead looking back Aching to speak Between lines of love lines of fear We stand together apart Looking up at a sea of faces that would see So our footsteps make not a sound Tangled are we Confused in our places What we know is right And yet what we see is redundant unmoving So we stand at a still breathe each others maybes They look right through us Never substantial but always tangible transparent are we In any other place time world He's just a people boy and I'm just a people girl And he's broken my floor I come stumbling tragic Breaking my heart along the way.

People boys.
He's just a people boy and I'm just a people girl And he's breaking my floor I come tumbling down Scraping my elbows and knees along the way Music fills my head with his breath behind it Rhythm pounding inside my skin Traveling through my veins Paced for a race and wild like flames His lips are soft but I wouldn't know Voice that crawls into my ears And makes my bones sing right out loud Eyes that make me shiver when they find mine Smooth and sweet he hides on the other side Rain falls steady blinding Bitter and rough I try to get there Impossible he stands tall so I can see Sleep calls out to me Deep and deeper I breathe through a straw He floats on past me head above water Slippery indifferent are my hands that reach Silence fills up our space Speech boiling stuffy beneath our tongues The world watches unknowing as I struggle No telling whether he can hear Falling farther than ever Were almost out of reach Tossing in sleep that pulls at our dreams Idle idealistic from a distance I am the outsider My footsteps are everywhere lost He's walking ahead looking back Aching to speak Between lines of love lines of fear We stand together apart Looking up at a sea of faces that would see So our footsteps make not a sound Tangled are we Confused in our places What we know is right And yet what we see is redundant unmoving So we stand at a still breathe each others maybes They look right through us Never substantial but always tangible transparent are we In any other place time world He's just a people boy and I'm just a people girl And he's broken my floor I come stumbling tragic Breaking my heart along the way.
