Blocked Glass

(shhhhh) Standing by the yellow line,

holding bottles in the heat

Cars are frozen in a row,

engine hum across the street

I snap a quick pretend frame,

leaning on your brick wall facade

Just a candid in the sun,

hiding that I'm blocked

But the screenshot on my screen is still glowing (glowing)

The one I said I'd throw away

Underneath the heat haze blowing

(blowing) I stand outside your gate today

Selling water to the cabs,

dodging mirrors in the jam

Staring at the silent chat,

double checking who I am

I still keep the image saved,

though I promised it was gone

Static in the signal path,

waiting for the dawn

But the screenshot on my screen is still glowing

(glowing) The one I said I'd throw away

Underneath the heat haze blowing

(blowing) I stand outside your gate today

Delete it, delete it (shhhhh)
