The Giving In - The Velvet Teen

moving on

getting ready

for the role of

slow and steady

no rabbit, all turtle

letting go of what’s behind me

making room for the new, finally

aware and in control

all in all

i find it fitting

to realize you were just visiting

some time we bought, but were returning

like a shoplifter, rehearsing

so it goes, the giving in

running away yet again

know where i want to go?

i always thought

you were behind me

reaching out and waving blindly

no idea at all

i knew it when i saw you

remember the first time

i’d played the fool to follow you

you were always on my mind

don’t have the words to say it

i don’t know where to start

you’d take my breath away but

no one can take my heart

all in all

i find it fitting

two real eyes you were just visiting

some time we bought, but were returning

windowshopfliter

i knew it when i saw you

remember the first time

i’d played the fool to follow you

you were always on my mind

don’t have the words to say it

i don’t know where to start

you’d take my breath away but

no one can take my heart
