Uma

(album: Parallel Play - 2014)

We were searching for an easy way to say to you
But the writings on the wall
Oh, we've come to see what you say of what you are
But you leave us wanting more

(Uma) Why are you hiding?
(Uma) The world isn't crying
(Uma) Oh, I wish I didn't love you but I do
(Uma) Better watch what you say
(Uma) When you talk in that way
(Uma) I wish I didn't love you, but I do

Pass the public school in an early evening pick-up run
West Astoria Boulevard
Uma says it's funny how memories, fade like setting suns
Quietly shaping who we are, are are are

(Uma) Why are you hiding?
(Uma) The world isn't crying
(Uma) Oh, I wish I didn't love you but I do
(Uma) Better watch what you say
(Uma) When you talk in that way
(Uma) I wish I didn't love you, but I do

We were hoping for a better way to explain to you
But we'd be lying after all, all
There's a Cadillac parked on 32nd Avenue
Shining headlights on your door

(Uma) Why are you hiding?
(Uma) The world isn't crying
(Uma) Oh, I wish I didn't love you but I do
(Uma) Better watch what you say
(Uma) When you talk in that way
(Uma) I wish I didn't love you, but I do
