We're playing catch
We have our gloves on
I'm so excited with the ball inside my fist
I toss it out, but I see nothing
And for a second there, I wonder if I missed
But it is there, you had caught it
It is there, you had caught it
Like a baby bird resting on your wrist
You have turned me from an athlete to a poet
If you won't throw it back, then I won't throw it
I wrote a verse, a way to say it
You have a voice to draw a vampire into light
You start to smile, you say you like it
But it won't make it in the set you sing tonight
Nobody hears it, and I feel slighted
No one hears it, I feel slighted
But I act as if the pain is only slight
It's a feeling that I'll one day stop inviting
If you won't sing my song, should I keep writing?
I love you now, I'll love you later
And I loved you when I didn't know you well
I'd love you close, I'd love you farther
I'd love you standing, sitting, even if I fell
I said I loved you, you said it different
I said I loved you, you said it different
You said you feel it, but it's difficult to tell
I understood, but felt ashamed that I displayed it
If you won't say it back, then I won't say it
Then I won't say it
Then I won't say
