Riley

7.31.20

Verse
Riley, Riley, won’t you come over?
I’m dying to hold you
I’m dying inside

Riley, can you pick up the pieces?

I’m missing your thesis

Are you trying to hide?

If not now, then when?

If this is the beginning why’s it feel just like the end?

If not me, then who?

‘Cause I know I don’t want nobody else but you

Chorus
I read the signs
Connected dots
Handwriting on the wall
But I can’t read your thoughts
Played the game
And I think I lost
Yet curtains still go up in 5
And x marks the spot

Verse
Riley, Riley, why won’t you answer?
Please don’t play romancer
Then leave me behind
Riley, did you get my last message?
I don’t meant to test this
But need peace of mind
In my dreams, you gleam
Head is spinning and I don’t know what you mean
Don’t kiss, don’t tell
No more guessing, just release me from this spell

Chorus
I read the signs
Connected dots
Handwriting on the wall
But I can’t read your thoughts
Played the game
And I think I lost
Yet curtains still go up in 5
And x marks the spot

Bridge
No more palm reading
No more crystal balls
No more divining
At all, at all, at all
Done with the ouija
Done with spools of thread
Done with the supernatural
And your bed, your bed, your bed

Chorus
I saw the signs
Connected dots
Handwriting on the wall
But I can’t read your thoughts
Played the game
And I think I lost
Yet curtains still go up in 5
And x marks the spot
