If You Let Go The Muse Should Move Your Bones

Black ties and white t-shirts, we're swinging now
If you'd swing with me I'd swing you 'round
Cause I'm making no moves babe, without you
This boy's not doing that thing, anymore being a fool

Tool, that's what it feels like when you smile
Who am I, what do I mean to you honey
Sound blares around me, songs of sorrow and heartbreak
How is it every song I hear now, your face appears in my head

I'm too hopeful and I'm mixing signals that aren't there
You don't care anymore and that I do isn't fair
Why'd you have to bury a hole in my chest and look away
I wasn't good enough, but damnit your presence overtook me

I couldn't think nor could I react in time, just holding you took me away
Wanting to be myself, that what I needed but I let you see me
Muse, you moved me here and there but it was I all along
I let myself self-deceive, we were just a thing to you

We were on the dance floor and I waited for the last possible moment
To hold you in my arms and seal the deal, tell you I was there for you
I wasn't ready to forgive mistakes, yours or mine
It was too late before I realized I loved you, by then 'just friends'

You brunettes and your beautiful lips and long legs
Bury me every time I see you with someone new
I didn't say the right words and I took you for granted
And your spending your time with every other guy walking by

I'm wishing regrets were memories that faded away
I could start again and live in the moment with you, but our past is between us
We could touch girl and kiss babe and love you honey
But it'd kill me that you'd kill me again
