Don't Touch!!

I've been pacing a hole through my kitchen tile
All night
Counting in a six-beat breath
And counting out a nine
We always say things we don't mean
But I'm not a mind-reader
Now either I look like a drama queen
Or a man-eater

And I checked with friends
Make it make sense
You don't want love
But you don't do less
It's impeccable work
A cinematic mess

But if you don't know
Then back up and don't touch
If you don't know
Then maybe this'll be too much for you
I'm starting to resent the responsibility
Remind you gently what the word "platonic" means
I don't know what you want from me

Maybe this is news for you, but there's abundant history
Of lovers around the world creating absent-minded misery
And you scooted a little closer to me
Did you notice?
Oh, I hate how bad I want you
Cause at this point I must insist

And I checked with friends
Make it make sense
I'm hot and fun
And you're on the fence?
You know, honestly
It doesn't really make a difference

But if you don't know
Then back up and don't touch
If you don't know
Then maybe this'll be too much for you
I'm starting to resent the responsibility
Remind you gently what the word platonic means
And I don't know what you want from me

And I checked online
They said I'm fine
That you're interested but it's not a sign
It's a perfect fit, and then you declined
Now you're scooting closer
Yes I'm fine

Honey, who has time for regression lines?
I ran the numbers, lost my mind
I breath in six, I breath out nine

(One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight, nine)

But if you don't know
Then back up and don't touch
If you don't know
Then maybe this'll be too much for you
I'm starting to resent the responsibility
Remind you gently what the word platonic means
I don't know what you want from me

But if you don't know
Then don't touch
