Exoskeleton

How does anybody
Leave their cards on the table
For someone who has different coloured blood?
I’m a little backwards
So are these words when they stumble out
Can we pretend we’re in a cartoon?
Where the stakes are low
Have you seen that show?
Nevermind…
Roll the stone back from my tomb
Feel alive since I met you
You’re the only one
Who didn’t turn away
Found myself in Timbuktu
People ask why I look so blue
You’re the only one
Who didn’t stop and stare
Little by little
My optimism fills
As your ectoplasm drips in my cup
Little by little the tip of my tongue
Falls out of line
And your exoskeleton sheds
Can we turn off time?
Think you read my mind
Roll the stone back from my tomb
Feel alive since I met you
You’re the only one
Who didn’t turn away
Found myself in Timbuktu
People ask why I look so blue
You’re the only one
Who didn’t stop and stare
Gotta make my move
Gonna tie my shoes
And stride
Aaaaaah
Gonna take my time
‘Cause I wanna get the words right
Ooooh words right
And I know it’s overdue
You’re the only one who can see my in the light
You’re the only one who understands
Little by little I give you my love
Little by little I give you my love
