You sit with your eyes shut tight, contemplating wrong and right
you keep it in, won't make it known, I'm looking out through keyholes
I know you talk it out in code, so willingly leave me alone
a silhouette in street-lit bones, I misinterpreted at most
Sure, this place is new to me but I've been here before
Fill up my head with screaming doubt, just to come back and let it out
you use your phrases like a knife, me as the wrist that you slice
Sure, this place is new to me but I've been here before
Sure, your face is new to me but I've met you before
You know that I am no good, I'd fuck your life up if I could
so much for moving closer, in the end we're both prisoners
Sure, this place is new to me but I've been here before
Sure, your face is new to me but I've met you before
Oh sure, it's just developing but I know what's in store

Bound 2 Be

Once I spotted you
like sunlight speckled through the trees
beneath your cover
you were bound to me
When you kissed me
beside the courtyard fountain spring
truth was pouring down
it was bound to be
Bound to be, it was bound to be
Bound to be, it was bound to be
When you kissed me
you moved right through, oh
we came together
I was bound to you
Oh and you had my hands tied
you made my tears dry
you made my lungs cry
oh, my, my, my
Bound to be, it was bound to be
Bound to be, it was bound to be
I've been waiting for this day to come, honey
I always knew it would happen eventually
I just wanted to get you alone, oh
you, you and me
Bound to be, it was bound to be
Bound to be, it was bound to be

Looking at my phone but you haven't called
What can I do?
Looking at my phone, all my time's stalled
waiting for you
Everything was on, nothing went wrong
what did I say?
How can it go on when it's begun ending
this way?
and you are waiting for me to break
you're the open water, I am the waves
and you are swimming through me at best
you'll be on the shore, I'll keep coming back
Looking at the floor, got it all stored down in my heart
everything's the same, how'd it all change?
What did I start?
The current took a turn, we learned then
that we overlap
but I'm stuck holding on to the past
and you are waiting for me to break
you're the open water, I am the waves
and you are swimming through me at best
you'll be on the shore, I'll keep coming back
