A Times Beach Crush Factor - In The Key Of J For Any

Street lights, cool nights, a couple of clueless kids
Smoke and cigarettes, talking out loud
Could you comprehend what they must be thinking
Explanations burned into frustration

Tones of bright red hanging off the lips
Silence answers the conversation flips
Seems what they want is closer than we imagined
One leans in and asks the other
Would it be alright if I told you something in spite
I will listen to you on one condition
I will call you bluff without suspicion
About the way you feel tonight

Tightrope, false hopes, pitfalls and close calls
Steam rising off the surface I can't explain your nervousness
That we tend to analyze to death
She seems so nice, seems being the key word
I explain myself in the most useless way
I dive in too fast scaring off the waves
In an ocean where the motion crushes the surf
And pulls me back to you

Scenery changing, a certain look of disgust
Off the rounded (?) of the pretty brown eyes
Something is not right
Used to losing everyone in this life
All the reckless inhabitations
I sigh inside
Slow my by breathing in fright
About the way I feel tonight
