Thumbtack

Thumbtack

On this sun-bleached and beaten-up map

Worn soft

I know my way around

But I'm driving blind now

Armed for no good reason

I have switched gears

Even though the water is fine

It's not time to deep sea dive

I do not want to hold us back

Or push us forward

Teaching you to bite my bottom lip just right

You learn fast

I want, when you undress me

For me to be beautiful



I'm afraid of rocking this huge and horrible boat

But I want to with you

Would it scare you

If we could change the world

By holding hands in plain view

In broad daylight

Imagine that!

If I said I wanted to

With you

It must be so easy to do what people do

Without hesitation or fear of becoming the new strange fruit



Armed for no good reason

I have switched gears

Even though the water is fine

It's not time to deep sea dive

And I'm driving blind now
