Stall

Six months at bay and we wrecked the porch
Then kissed at dark, we crossed the line
Where it was blurred, not sure it's smart

'Cause I'm not the angel that he wishes I could be
For all my storms, all words escape me every time he looks at me

And I hated the way we talked as if there was nothing really important to say
Till I noticed how he stuck around every time I wished he would stay
Anticipation killed me nightly, he slept soundly while I laid awake
Till it was more than I could take

Six spun the bottle, but I was too afraid to try
Been with lots of boys
And they screwed me up, so I learned to lie

But he plays me records, gets me home safe late at night
He kissed me one too many times, but still, this boy, he couldn't see the light

But I hated the way we talked as if there was nothing really important to say
Till I noticed how he stuck around every time I wished he would stay
Think this could turn out fine if I shut up and let things be okay
But I thought back while we laid in his bed and

And I worry about the line 'tween his and mine, and what the boys'll say
When I finally gave him up and walked away, he started following
This is harder than I ever thought it'd be, so tell me, will I pay
For the smack that left me safe?

So let's stay in bed all day
And may things abide, okay?
