Boots & Breakbeats

{fingerpicked acoustic guitar intro,

raw and intimate, kick drum thuds entering at the end} (hmmm-mm-mmm)

I think you're fascinating

But I don't let it show

Do you ever feel the distance Growing wider as we go?

And when the darkness deepens Everything stays still

I'm a stranger in the hallway Watching shadows cross the floor

Watching shadows cross the floor

{gritty slide resonator guitar riffs between lines} I wish that I could

reach you If this was a page we'd turn We would leave

the edges folded For the words we couldn't say

{heavy bass drop prepping the chorus} Leave the words between the lines

Leave the echoes where they fall

Just this once... Just this moment...

No, I'm not in love at all

I’m not in love {hook,

soaring acoustic melody over deep sub-bass and heavy drums} I think you're

fascinating But there's nowhere left to go

Do you ever feel tomorrow Getting closer every day?

Your smile disappears too quickly Before I know it's gone

Every step toward forever Feels like walking back again

{rhythmic hip-hop vocal delivery}

If this moment was a question Would you answer honestly?

If this moment could go on I'd never ask for more

If this moment was the ending Would you ask me not to

stop? I don't have to speak to know The silence answers first

{vocal swells and deep slide sweeps} There's nothing left to say

Before the morning comes

I'll disappear this time

Just this once... Just this moment...

I'm not in love

I'm only thinking of you

{acoustic guitar fades out

alongside the ticking rhythm}
