Move Me

(album: Flood - 2022)

It was never going to be a good time
When you said you had to talk to me
I even tried to lower my expectations
Treat it like another New Year's Eve
I must have been so far up my own ass
Not to notice you falling behind
But you're always so well put together
Wish I'd read between your perfect lines

I know that it's alright
But it doesn't soothe me
I know that it's all good
It just doesn't move me

I've been throwing death stares at the doorway
Waiting for a punchline to appear
You were always clumsy in a good way
Now it's turned to something we all fear
I just want to take the perfect photo
So that I can show you what I mean
When I say you look like Uma Thurman
When she was in Mad Dog and Glory

I know that it's alright
But it doesn't soothe me
I know that it's all good
It just doesn't move me

I know that it's alright
Everyone's around us
But it doesn't soothe me
I want you to stay
I know that it's real good
(And now I'm looking out the window)
It just doesn't move me
(Take me away)

You're the bit that holds us all together
Never had much time for sympathy
I'll throw a little courage on my nightdress
I want to be yours till there's no me
