End Credits

On the last day of the week
you were the first person to ask me
on a movie date

          and this was the first time     I refrained from hesitation
        the first time in a long time     I've loaned my bones expose

                      and as it plays on     my unforgivable fidgeting
	                              begins     twisting in positions in my seat
		                       trying     to lay my head on your chest
	                             without     breaking my neck

                            and I’m sorry     I couldn’t just 
				                    become comfortable
		            and I’m sorry     it’s about more than
				                    just the movie
        		   and I’m sorry      I was more focused 
			                            on what I wanted taken 
				                    than was capable of giving
		           and I’m sorry      all I can do is sputter off              				                                                                                            
                                                    apologies after you've
				                    long since stopped listening
