i no longer want to be tracing…

Do you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle?
Or have you ever had the sense
that we’ve been lying just a little?
I mean come on,
it’s not like we’ve known ourselves that long.

And I can’t say I really blame you
for being bored with the beginning.
Always staring at the score
to figure out who’s barely winning.
But don’t you know
there is a reason strong moves slow.

And I’m okay,
if you’re okay with
wasting time.
But when you trace
you always see the bottom line.

We are tracing
I hope you know
We are tracing

And if you want to know the moment
I knew that I was still alone…
I found I’d never learned your number
I only stored it in my phone.
You’d think by now
I’d know the shape of calling home.

And I’m okay
if you’re okay with
wasting time.
But when you trace
you know you’ll always face that bottom line…

We are tracing.
I hope you know.
We are tracing.
We’re both alone.
We are tracing.
We are tracing.

Did you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle?
Or did you ever have the sense
that we were lying just a little?
I mean come on
it’s not like we knew ourselves that long…
