You lean your back against the wall
Push your hands in your pocket
You look down
Pacing the floor
You look out the window
Beyond the view
Shake your body
As if against the cold
Your mind wanders
Tell me what you're trying to say
Tell me what you're trying to say
I won't stop
Loving you
We sit down together
You start to draw a ring
Square the circle
Then draw some lines
Push the paper
But keep the pen you hold
You need your hands occupied
Push your hands in your pocket
You look down
Pacing the floor
You look out the window
Beyond the view
Shake your body
As if against the cold
Your mind wanders
Tell me what you're trying to say
Tell me what you're trying to say
I won't stop
Loving you
We sit down together
You start to draw a ring
Square the circle
Then draw some lines
Push the paper
But keep the pen you hold
You need your hands occupied
