Direct Address - Lucy Dacus

Written by：Lucy Dacus

You know it's unfair that I am here and you are there

I feel short in the exchange I show you mine you walk away

I'm wearing mine out on my sleeve you're wearing yours where I can't see

But I'll remember your face for years to come

And wonder what you thought about when you got home

Honestly is like a kiss on the lips

Come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is

Now I'm barely breathing I'm moving ahead

But if I see you smile it's gonna knock me dead

I'm stiff in my tracks trying to recover

From whatever ** you used to put me under

I don't believe in love at first sight

I don't believe in love at first sight

It's hard enough for me to not fall in love with every person I see

I let my mind get turned inside out

Just to see what the kids were laughing about

It wasn't worth understanding something

I could've gone my whole life not knowing

You know what they say about curiosity

That murderer had his chokehold on me

I ran away without looking back

But every now and then I want what I can't have

I'm still thinking of a man from years ago-

Eyes open wide in the front row

Dark features leaning on the doorframe

I would've sold my soul to know his first name

I don't believe in love at first sight

I don't believe in love at first sight

I don't believe in love at first sight

Maybe I would if you looked at me right
