Behind the Gun - Houston Calls

But we’re singing them in half time

I lean in closer

Feel you breathing

But your eyes look away, and I stop on a dime

I believe in the life that we seek

It can far outweigh the risks we take

Could this be everything that I wanted?

Could I be the one you were waiting for?

A different time and place

We can’t erase these footsteps anymore

A second glance, a subtle smile

We smuggle knowingly in hindsight

We traffic nuances and sophistry

We steal our escapes

Making use of sleight

Damn the state of our hearts and our minds

As our resolve slowly unwinds

My eyes wide open, its poetry in motion

How our minds could let us pretend my heart’s not in it

My mind goes by the minute

Whether I wanna see how this ends

If we can start again when we want to

Then why are we always behind the gun?

If you’re holding out for answers

Greener pastures, you’re not the only one
