a gesture

I've been thinking that it would be quite nice

Even just a card would be alright

One 'Happy Birthday' before the end of July

Then you go to bed and you turn out the lights

Turn out the lights

Its just a gesture

Not much else

The way you move through the room

You tell me its not my vibe

You always try to choose for me

Before I get to decide

I know it might feel like a total defeat

Sometimes its ok to retreat

This might reveal a deeper insecurity

Help to prevent another deceit

Its just a gesture

Not much else

You've got a swing in the jaw

And its gaping wide

Once you open the door

You can't put it back inside
