Flames

Charming Liars

I'm waiting here in a public place

Prepping myself for what she might say

Nobody knows the pain behind my face

Tell the waitress I’m waiting I’m waiting waiting for someone

frantically drink what's in my coffee cup

While I’m searching for faith and a glimpse of her

I wanna tell her I love her but she already knows

I’ve said these words

You want love but not to break it in

I’m at the place that you met me in

Honestly If you want to know the punch line

Everything is alright in the end

We’re not turning into flames

She walks in and shakes off the rain

My hands shaking with a spoon and a coffee plate

She doesn’t see me and thinks that I’ve run late

She tells the waitress I’m waiting I’m waiting waiting for someone

I take a breath and stand on my chair

Watching faces as they start to stare

I shout out my best De Niro “are you talking to me”

Then she jumps out of her seat and screams

You want love but not to break it in

I’m at the place that you met me in

Honestly If you want to know the punch line

Everything is alright in the end

We’re not turning into flames
