THUMBTACK


Thumbtack
On this sun-bleached and beaten-up map
Worn soft
I know my way around
But I'm driving blind now
Armed for no good reason
I have switched gears
Even though the water is fine
It's not time to deep sea dive
I do not want to hold us back
Or push us forward
Teaching you to bite my bottom lip just right
You learn fast
I want when you undress me
For me to be beautiful

I'm afraid of rocking this huge and horrible boat
But I want to with you
Would it scare you
If we could change the world
By holding hands in plain view
In broad daylight
Imagine that!
If I said I wanted to
With you
It must be so easy to do what people do
Without hesitation
Or fear of being the new strange fruit

Armed for no good reason
I have switched gears
Even though the water is fine
It's not time to deep sea dive
And I'm driving blind now
