Cross my heart and bite my lip
While you prick the ends of my fingertips
I want to see if there’s read blood after all
Sit on your hands and bide your time
As we wait to let the stars align
Hope you weren’t in a hurry for results
And I’ll repeat the same lines every tim e
Amateurs like me sure know how to force a rhyme
Cliches and platitudes
Make excellent title tracks
But when I put my faith in them
I never get anything back
Change my name another time
Let’s see if this is the one that feels right
27th time’s the charm
Or so I’m told
We’ll give it the old college try
What is yours will soon be mine
I always knew how to take just what I want
The proverbs and phrases get so tired
Repeating dead mean we all once admired
Repeating Alternate Chorus
Love and selflessness
Are great ways. to seem virtuous
But you cannot escape the fact
That you’re acting out of self interest
New friends and acquaintances
add up so fast you can’t keep track
But you’ll be tired before too long
Once you realize you can’t love them back
Cliches and platitudes make. excellent title tracks
But when I put my faith in them
I never get anything back
