lyrics

I'd swear we were last two on earth each time I'm taken by those eyes
Processor pause, it's a lost cause; that stare's effect I cannot hide
Will we collide? Can I confide? I've kept some distance from your door
I fear I'll want to want you more and find my void left unrestored

Curtain falls; will my hand be in yours or the applause?
Standing by to enter, has there been a proper cause?
All the lines this protagonist has said so far have not
Given clue as to where we will be next time the curtain draws

It's true. It's likely, anyhow, that you already knew
Cause I wear it on my face just what I think of you
Oh, with a passing glance
I will feel a flood of dopamine and hope I have a chance
But what's more, I really have no clue if you'll reciprocate
And although I have my hopes I won't initiate
You're far too good to scare away
If the little that I get of you is all I'll be okay

So play on, I might be in the audience for now
But if you want I'll take a minor role and stick around
I would love to be cast for the second biggest bow
No matter where I am when the curtain falls, you're the best thing that I've found

Frustration hits and fatal doubt of ever us is gaining clout
But with a look into your eyes, oh, the number of my faculties that you can compromise
If at all, will my hand be in yours or the applause?
No matter where I am when the curtain falls, you're the best thing that I've found

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
