Inspired by: Recitative x delicate

All cats are gray in the dark

Even with all that history

Alleycats on the line, trembling

Are you gonna wait?

I can take a picture for you,

But first let me get off this street

Self-inflicted feelings of "IOUs"

But he said "delicious, can't wait for the view"

Now I don't really know what to do

He doesn't switch my "i" with an "e"

But please don't apply that same rule to me

An @'s not enough, do you know what I mean?

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it too soon to do this yet?

Cause I know that it's delicate

Are you sure that I'm not a bet?

Is it too soon to do this yet?

Cause you know that it's delicate

Isn't it?

He turns off all the lights so I'll sleep

No lights from the window but maybe

He knows exactly what I mean

Nerves frayed like the distress on my jeans

That he's pulling off, do I groan, do I scream?

When do I mention history?

But that's not your problem, is it?

It's ok if we don't sleep

I want to be more than your dreams

Please tell me I'm not a fling

Trust me you'll enjoy the "at" and the "e"

If you know that it's delicate.

Is it too soon to do this yet.

Are you sure that I'm not a bet?

Cause I know that it's delicate.

Is it too soon to do this yet.

Is it cool that I said all that?

Cause I know that it's delicate.
