Another Off-Beat Slow Dance For Boys With Two Left Feet

sad heart
fleeting and bleeding
this last beat is taking
its bitter sweet time

love song
singing and screaming
just when the beat starts sticking
you switch up the rhyme

loose lips
for kissing and telling
bet i can get 'em yelling
or at least make them sigh

cracked door 
for waiting and watching
seems i have caught you lying
(under another guy)
