Lines and Lies

Crossing state lines
Trying to find where your heart’s true
You rest your head on mine and give me all the signs
I’m going crazy trying to read you

Cause I can’t draw a line
When you’re stepping on these boundaries
I’m tripping on the thought, I could be what you want
But I fake what you mean to me

No we can’t admit what we want
So we drew lines dividing us
Chasing lies, keeping mouths shut
In denial that this ain’t love
Lines and lies

We rehearse our lines
Pretending that we’re just friends
But when we drink at night, we turn to intertwined
The same beginning and end

I trace your body lines
Cause I find you like to spend the night
Your mind’s a step away, from where it oughta be
But your hands are telling me otherwise

So I’ll keep it a secret
Cause I know you know I mean it
And you’ll keep it a secret
Cause you’re afraid you might mean it
So we’ll keep it a secret,
Cause we know this ain’t going anywhere

No we can’t admit what we want
So we drew lines dividing us
Chasing lies, keeping mouths shut
In denial that this ain’t love
And for awhile you were enough
But I can only take so much of
Lines and lies
