New York City, different times Central park, different lights You buy a sandwich to share and our fingers touch How can I make it clear That for the span of a summer you were There to hold me close and then fall apart Four in the afternoon doesn't exist Search within you, it's gone amiss And I can't stay with you during the night Mindless Keep it mindless Ask me why people come and go so quickly Use your hands Play a song for me Don't pay me no mind I'll sit and watch your beautiful hands You know I don't believe in magic My dear, me and you is a tragedy Waiting to happen, and now I must turn away Newspaper showing a hurricane Beautiful and terrible just like you My love, so bad at a prisoner's game Eight in the evening doesn't exist Reality, a connection missed But I can't stay with you during the night Mindless Keep it mindless Ask me why people come and go so quickly Use your hands Play a song for me Don't pay me no mind I'll sit and watch your beautiful hands Mindless Keep it mindless Ask me why people love you and than leave you Use your hands Play a song for me Don't pay me no mind I'll sit and watch your beautiful hands Tripped and fell on my own ego Nervous hands, I pull away, Yeah I'm cynical until the bitter end Existence is a contraband Like wine I get drunk on your hands, So soft I didn't know they were even there
