It's been so long since you called my room pretending to be someone else.

I have not seen your face from across my plate;

nor have I read your poems in the dark by the light of a camera.



(refrain): But what are we for if not for this?

what are we going to do?

You'd buy me the sky if it weren't quite so high

and you know I would have done the same for you.



I watch your face from across my space.

Everything you do is mine.

I give you time, you give me your eyes.

I pretend not to realize what you mean and what you think I mean..



(refrain)



You leave me now with your head held high

pretending to be someone else.

I watch you go knowing it's the end.

There will not be time again for me to draw you in.



(refrain
