lyrics
~
You've got Netflix but you've got
no chill, you make me feel like Bond with a licence to kill
the mood,
when I move
like a chessman in a checkers’ game.
And you're scareder than your own
scaredy cat
was when you took me inside;
then put out those little
pauses only awkward when
we never make the most of them.
You say you're feeling shy,
can’t you try just feeling my
lips upon your own
for longer than a moment
alone is all I want,
the 'where' and 'when' and 'what'
were never why
I rode the rails around and round,
and parked in places I was not allowed...
Just to get to you.
Oh, now, Annie Wilkes please don't get me wrong,
I've killed my fair share of chances
in the cold of passion too
much thinking never did this boy
much good.
You say I'm terrified -
I say you're the reason why;
to be one and lost so long,
then a chase that only caught me by surprise,
surprise: it's me, and then it's you,
I'll move my feasts and then make you my moon...
Just to get to you.
Take my hand in
miscarriage of justice,
'cause trust that I've been
reaching for you
past my grasp.
So big heads never
got much bigger than
when you kissed me
in the Reekie,
and were glad to get it over with.
Just to get to you...
Just to get on that fuckin’ train.
