Nothing to Hide and Nothing to Cover
If you can hear me running one more time,
To the sycamores near the lapis lake.
Come and find me with my hair knotted in Thyme,
I await for my dearest love to take me there.

I can smell the cream soda on you,
I imagine tasting the cherry on your mouth’s roof.
You’re wearing the tight black jeans again,
Dancing to Elvis like none of the other men.

I avoid you like a plague,
Your memory on my clothes remain with stains.
Just remember I want to keep things vague,
I was never satisfied with a ball and chain.

Spinning round and round on the ceiling,
I can’t lie I’m in love with this feeling.
More than I could ever love another,
For once with nothing to hide and nothing to cover.

I don’t care if you dance in the rain with her,
Talking together always felt like a blur.
To me, I’m done trying to believe,
There’s no one left who will next deceive.

Oh, the scapegoat eats at my cloak,
As for the monkey...
