Xo Testo

I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
❝To I swear, I say❝
To hands between legs, to ❝whatever it takes❝
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stares/stairs to the emergency exit door
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
❝What did it ever do for me❝ I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose awe or sympathy
But never both
Last time ❝I hoped you choked
And crashed your car❝
Hey ❝tear catcher❝, that's all that you are
And ever were
From the start
I swear, I say
To the ❝love❝ I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)
