This is super secret loving Like when my foot accidentally touches yours over coffee I ask if you want to play footsies And then move my foot away to make sure The whole thing isn’t weird And you tell me I don’t have to move my foot So I then rub my leg against yours Like a one legged cricket who’s sure He’s found the set that plays his song Only your face turns red And the song doesn’t play I look to my super secret decoder Mood ring that tells me what you’re feeling Only if I can touch you long enough for it to change colors So I hold your hand like a zipper And you shake mine away like a stove linger I half expect you to **** your finger like a cigarette burn The ring looks like antifreeze Caught in the glare of sunlight With no definite answer And I don’t know what to think This is super secret heartbreak As I apologize Even though I was being myself Like a man who never knew a mirror Like a boy Who wanted to say something like You smell really good I know I should have learned To keep my hands And feet to myself by now But this is super secret loving And the storm swirling in my super secret decoder mood ring Is fading to green like envy And now blue Super secretly I say Let’s try this again As you stand up to leave After reading a text message About how your dog died Super secretly I say stay

Super Secret Loving
This is super secret loving Like when my foot accidentally touches yours over coffee I ask if you want to play footsies And then move my foot away to make sure The whole thing isn’t weird And you tell me I don’t have to move my foot So I then rub my leg against yours Like a one legged cricket who’s sure He’s found the set that plays his song Only your face turns red And the song doesn’t play I look to my super secret decoder Mood ring that tells me what you’re feeling Only if I can touch you long enough for it to change colors So I hold your hand like a zipper And you shake mine away like a stove linger I half expect you to **** your finger like a cigarette burn The ring looks like antifreeze Caught in the glare of sunlight With no definite answer And I don’t know what to think This is super secret heartbreak As I apologize Even though I was being myself Like a man who never knew a mirror Like a boy Who wanted to say something like You smell really good I know I should have learned To keep my hands And feet to myself by now But this is super secret loving And the storm swirling in my super secret decoder mood ring Is fading to green like envy And now blue Super secretly I say Let’s try this again As you stand up to leave After reading a text message About how your dog died Super secretly I say stay
