Blink

Precious one
You don't come round
Too much any more
And it's been so long
Since anything got through
And not just with the tide
I've barely been alive

Just pretend
There's no need to lay words on
Or talking round in circles
In corners in the dark
Acting all discreet
Keeping a safe distance
But never far apart

And I blink and I'm lost
It's a twisted triangle
Then I blink and you're gone

There's not a thing that I could do
All the things that I would do

Just pretend
But only for the moment
That there's no looking back
For karma's cold revenge
And no peeking in the future
It's like jumping off a cliff
Could you imagine it?

Precious one
You cause me to question
I can't tell wrong from right
I'll damn the consequences
And all of your defences
If only for the night
I can't wait for the night

And I blink and I'm lost
It's a twisted triangle
Then I blink and you're gone

It's not a thing that I could do
All the things that I would do to have you

There's not a thing that I could do
All the things that I would do to have you

(And I blink and I watch)
the sweet sunrise
(It's a twisted triangle) hide
Your sweet pretty smile
(And I blink and I'm lost) Hide
Your secret

It's not a thing that I could do
All the things that I would do to have you
(Things that I would)
(And I blink and I'm lost)
Not a thing that I could do
All the things that I would do to have you
(Things that I would)
(And I blink and I'm lost)
Things to have you
And I blink and you're gone
