The Bends (Seeing Double)

He was skating corners

Scratched up both his shoulders

And I guess

That’s when he saw me

In a flash of dark curls

I’m strung up like white pearls

On his neck

I can’t stop staring

You were right to take a deep breath

In the hotel lobby, on the steep bends

Pulling me in softly at the coat check

I’m seeing double

I’m so dizzy when you come through

On a beat up deck leaving the Whole Foods

In the crimson hallway where you lean in

I’m seeing double

I’m seeing double

And I don't mind

Bandaid on a broken backbone

Fantasize every night that I’m alone

Slide in through cracks of the window

Oh his frosted tips are just to die for

You were right to take a deep breath

In the hotel lobby, on the steep bends

Pulling me in softly at the coat check

I’m seeing double

I’m so dizzy when you come through

On a beat up deck leaving the Whole Foods

In the crimson hallway where you lean in

I’m seeing double

I’m seeing double

I’m seeing double

I’m seeing double

I’m seeing double

I’m seeing double
