You're not going anywhere for now

I've been building up fences around your smiles
Make pretend that, I wouldn't fall for that
With simple words you turned my walls into glass
Could you see I've waited this all my life

Got firmly held and tossed a few years back
Can't remember, if I ever told you that?
Does it matter, not sure you would have cared but
Would you invite me over, in reluctant ways?

You're flying high, begging for a prey
And I didn't ask, but I didn't pray
So you got me good, oh you knew you would
Paint me shades of hope, then laugh at me in the rain

Wide-eyed gaze, tell me that this won't be the last
A pretty face, oh man you're more than that
I'm turning off the lights, and you pull me
You pull me by the hand oh
And you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
For now
For now

They'll never get it, all of your rugby guys
Your mother hates it, but yet you're fine with that
You seek excuses, think I can't see through lies
That I've got it easy, cause I know who I am

I'm understanding, you can have fun with her
I'm overthinking, that I was never earned
Selfish manners, drown your ghosts in liquor
I'd softly rather, blur mine in your curls

I'd wait through war and jail, hoping that we'll meet again
Your monsters locked in hell and with a smile on your face
Listening to your shit, in case you wish you had stayed
In case you forgot to say I love you by the way

Wide-eyed gaze, tell me that this won't be the last
A pretty face, oh man you're more than that
I'm turning off the lights, and you pull me
You pull me by the hand oh
And you're not going anywhere, anywhere
We're drunk again, but it used to be our time
I shouldn't say that I went out just for that
Convincing my friends that I'm distant
Cause you fled again oh
But you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now

This place is full of eyes
But they'll never read your mind
One look and I supply
You could have won tonight
Their words did kill your pride
Now you wish you never tried
But you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
Say all we need is time
You're not ready for that
Tomorrow I will fly
And leave you far behind
You might forget my laugh
And tales I tried to pass
But I'm not going anywhere, anywhere for now
This place is full of eyes
It's scaring me this time
Your look is all I ask
It's coming back around
Their words did kill your pride
Now you wish you never tried
But you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
