Submerged

Well your arms hang parallel to the curtains Your gaze falls perpendicular to the floor Your resign yourself to the hurting The lines in your brow are deeper than before Don't misunderstand I just wanna be your friend Well a phone call is a phone call Is not the means to an end Your t-shirt's white across your chest Loose around your neck Your eyes come to rest on my face Indirect, there's been tears shopping here? In the market for solutions, you know, its so hard to find clear answers These days I think that a thing of the past They just don't make them to last anymore And it seems to me I'll miss love in the effort it infers And her legs are longer But mine are stronger than hers And I told you I wouldn't hold you down I would only make you happy and I wouldn't let you drown Now you say you're submerged in me Well I'm out here writing dirges Can't you see I need to be free? You laugh and you smile and you say you'll agree But you continue with your kisses Oh you love those near-misses Can't you see the only thing I ask The only slant Is the only thing you won't grant me Just turn out the light Unlock the door Tell me you feel alright, even better than before Show me you can be strong Its all I wanted all along
