Uncasual Encounters

You said it's nothing, keys on the counter

Coffee going cold, screen still glow

Your jacket on, chair like a ghost

We keep our distance, in the same small room

You draw a line, then trace it with your thumb

Calling it simple, but your pulse gives you up

Uncasual encounters, when your eyes say stay

But your mouth says we're just friends

And then you lean my way

Uncasual encounters, every almost touch

If this is not that deep, why does it hurt this much

We share a ride, just on the way

Street signs blur, but your hand finds my leg

You laugh too loud, change the song midway

That half of a second, you almost let it play

You draw a line, then sleep on my side

Call it convenient, but I see you decide

Uncasual encounters, when your eyes say stay

But your mouth says we're just friends

And then you lean my way

Uncasual encounters

Who are we kidding, heartbeats on a timer

Shirts on the floor, names on a lighter

You say, let's keep it light

I say, turn on the lamp, see the truth in the clutter

We both pretend we can't

We both pretend we can't

We both pretend we can't

We both pretend we can't
