Hang Fire
Heavy colours and sweet lights
How am I supposed to keep you off my mind?
Soft skin and wrong lips
Why cannot I stop wondering if you aren't here tonight?
Stars exploding and eyes closing
What am I going to do all my life if you don't miss me back again
Secretive eyes and brushing fingers
Where have you been hiding yourself all this time?
Scrambled thoughts and fireworks bursting,
Who else but you would I be thinking of tonight, darling?
Someone else kissing my hand and I am still thinking of you.
