Flicker of Temptation

You text “you up?” Two words

My pulse jumps Screen glow on my face

Like you’re right in this room

I pace the hall

Wear a groove in the floor

Know how this ends

Still my hand wants the door

I tell myself “forget it”

Then your picture pulls me

in

Every promise that I made

Starts bending at the hinge

You’re the gravity of my name Pulling me back Pulling me back

I keep swearing I’ll change

But you know I’ll crash You know I’ll crash Every line that

I draw

You trace it Erase it again Oh

I keep walking away

Then I’m falling Falling back to you again

Your laugh in my head

Like a song I can’t kill

I taste last July

In the cold of this chill

Half poured drink

Half-meant prayers

I’m one call away

From “I’m already there”

I tell myself “forget it”

But you’re humming in my blood

Standing right

at the edge

Of that first forgiving touch

You’re

the gravity of my name Pulling me back Pulling me back

I keep swearing I’ll change

But you know I’ll crash You know I’ll crash Every line that

I draw

You trace it Erase it again Oh

I keep walking away

Then I’m falling

Falling back to you again Who am I trying to save You

My soul This fragile pride

I type “come over” then erase

Just your silence burns inside You’re the gravity of my name Pulling

me back Pulling me back I keep swearing I’ll change

But you know I’ll crash You know I’ll crash Every line that

I draw

You trace it Erase it again Oh I

keep walking away

But I’m falling

Always falling back to you again (yeah)
