Anthony Jay Sanders - Three lyrics

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
