Skinny Black Dress

Over your thighs

Is a skinny black dress

I've seen what's beneath it

You like it the best

When I kiss what's inside you

But you never ask

Cause you're young and you're patient

And I'm out of breath

There's a fog that's between us

It's thick and it's tough

And it won't go away

until I break things off.

And I know that you're

Better than the way that you seem

When you're just around me

Why do I sound so cynical

Because all you left were shadows

On the floor

Now there's no one here to save me

Anymore

Open the curtains and dry off your tears

Look at the people

Do you think the years have

Gotten the best of us

Eaten us whole

I wish it would spit us right out

At a candlelit dinner

With you and your folks

And you say that I tell the most awful jokes

And you know that I'm better than the way that I seem

When it's just me and you

Why do we sound so cynical

Because nobody was ever keeping score

Now no ones here to save me anymore

So come back to see me

When you're feeling fine

I'll give you your shirts

And we'll open this bottle of wine

But it won't be enough

To get us both drunk

Now we're talking in circles

And filling the squares

Next to yes and no question

But who really cares

And I know that you're better than the way that you seem

When you're just around me

Why do you sound so cynical?

Because nobody was ever keeping score

Now no ones here to save me anymore
