We Both Want To

(album: Surviving The Suburbs - 2018)

A wisp of blonde hair whips back
From the ledge of your window pain
I'm standing down on the street corner
Trying to picture your face
It's a coy, coy game that we were playing
And it's such a shame that you always stay in
So I decide to walk down to the supermarket
Though there ain't much in particular that I need
I just hope that you might be there
On the odd chance that we may meet

Then I see you
And you see me
We say so much
But we never speak
You turn your head
And I watch you leave
We take our turns
Tryna catch a peak
The electric thing
Between me and you
Gets lost in the moment
Somehow, we never do
We both want to

I heard somewhere that you work down at the Capitoline
Is your hostess on the early shift from one to nine
Feel too strange grabbing a drink there
But I can't think of a better time
Cause there's always a line of friends by your side
When I want you alone
And I'm not the type to step into the light
And make myself known
Do my best here, watching
Never let my intentions show

Then I see you
And you see me
We say so much
But we never speak
You turn your head
And I watch you leave
We take our turns
Tryna catch a peak
The electric thing
Between me and you
Gets lost in the moment
And somehow, we never do
We both want to

When all the pieces fit in together
Are we different species
Made for different weather
Don't say so, baby
Don't call me crazy

Cause I see you
But you don't see me
We try so hard
So we just don't meet
You turn your head
Like I'm some kind of creep
When I look at you
You look at your feet
The electric thing
Between me and you
I get lost in the moment
Somehow, you never do
And you don't want to
And you don't want to
Don't want to
