Anthony Jay Sanders - Show of Hands lyrics

[Verse 1] Show of hands Would anybody here like to watch movies and eat delivered food? Wear comfy clothes and tell personal truths? Show of hands to an empty room I s** my thumb and sing, "What did I do?" Show of hands Would anybody here like me as something more than merely friendly If you'd just met me these past four weeks? You don't have to sugar coat it nicely Because that's a form of lying to me [Chorus 1] A thousand miles of thought just for her I'm crying in a cup about why I left home A thousand miles a minute just for her She's crying in a plate about her ex-brother A thousand miles in a circling car This conversation's looped four bars A thousand miles of speech He listened selflessly to me, his enemy [Verse 2] Show of hands Would anybody respect me If they only knew how I abandoned Audrey? If they only knew how I hurt her I was going to rhyme, but I can't sing her name Our past is the problem, and I'm the one to blame Or maybe she's over it, and I'm a loser Maybe I could learn to socialize Without having to draw anonymous eyes Acting like I'm funny all the time [Chorus 2] Maybe dilated eyes can finally help me Be the boy I was born to be Plunged into a world of maturity Where I've grown and these clothes no longer fit me With memories as mammaries poking You thought that I was joking The content never shimmered right I could write and record, but I'd be up all night
