lyrics

Leaning on the masonry / In the corner at the table across from me
You distracted my wandering eye / You mixed up my world although you didn't try

Every time I take the charcoal in my hand
Your likeness gets away in ways that I hadn’t planned
And as years go by it just fades away
It's been such a long time since I called out to you
And when you run away it's the worst thing you'll ever do

Leaning on your company / At the theater in the seats down in front of me
You derailed my train of thought / You hijacked the engine, but never got caught

Every time I take the charcoal in my hand
Your image flees from me in ways I don’t understand
And as years go by it just fades away
It's been a long time since I called out to you
And when you run away it's the worst thing you'll ever do

Let’s show them winning smiles / Let them hope for a while
Let every gaze snap true and then we'll end those fools

Leaning toward your property / In a province in a country across the sea
Far as my concern can go / It cries in your tracks, yeah, but you’ll never know

And every time I take the charcoal in my hand
Your likeness gets away in ways that I hadn't planned
Furthermore, your figure drifts away
