Sorry Or Please

Five weeks in a prison'

I made no friends

There's more time to be done' but

I've got a week to spend

I didn't pay much attention

First time around'

But now you're hard not to notice'

Right here in my town

Where the stage of my old life

Meets the cast of the new

Tonights actors me and you

Each day is taking us closer'

While drawing the curtains to close

This far' or further' I need to know

Your increasingly long embraces'

Are they saying sorry or please

I don't know what's happening' help me

Through the streets' on the corners'

There's a scent in the air

I ask you out and I lead you

I know my way around here

There's a bench I remember'

And on the way there I find

That the movements you're making'

Are mirrored in mine

And your hand is held open'

Intentionally' or just what I want to see

Your increasingly long embraces'

Are they saying sorry or please

I don't know what's happening' help me

I don't normally beg for assistance'

I rely on my own eyes to see'

But right now they make no sense to me'

Right now you make no sense to me

End
