Tilting

Tilting, we are tilting
Somewhat out of sync

My heart beating faster
You talk out of phase
I think past the barline
Lose you in the haze
You want the diner
Somewhere we can graze
No no no let’s realign in primal ways

Everything nonverbal
Is falling out of sync
You spin like a gerbil
Needing one more drink
I lost the context
You shout and I just blink
No no no I raise my glass, let’s just clink clink

I see you tilting tilting over
Catch you and I’m tilting over
Both of us tilting tilting over
It’s okay to fall
I see you tilting tilting over
Catch you and I’m tilting over
Both of us tilting over
I like it when we fall

 

We fell outta touch
Did you really exist
You been long gone
I could not resist
So I call you up all happy
You pick up all pissed
We still out of sync, I get the gist

 

You make one more noise
Almost like a laugh
I almost sense a blush
I smile on your behalf
Even when they’re lost
Just some photograph
If someone ever touched your heart, you can find ‘em in the riff raff, riff raff
