You say I have a beautiful smile as you run
Your hand down my back across my chest
And up my thigh, oh my
I let you touch me the way you do
Hearing beautiful lies sounding so true
Grasping for a moment, maybe you’re he
Gasping for a moment, baby kiss me
A moment a moment
A a ah a moment
Because for a moment I’m with you
Through you, in you, like you, as you, connected to you
Unrefined and unafraid and unabashed
For a moment I am you
Then the shudders desist, we grow quiet
Silent, save for the hard breathing
But the lies persist
You were good baby, we’ll go out maybe, I can make
You shout again, I’ll call you, then you’re leaving
I’m through with you
And we go back to our lives, our lies
Our sighs, hellos, good-byes
You’re not he, I’m not she, we aren’t we
We aren’t anything but you, but me
I’m alone again, just me, until when
I meet someone new, someone who might even be like you
To make the lies sound true
And help me find
A moment.
