Stalemate

Let's write a story with our eyes Someone said that you'd be here tonight And I didn't think I wanted to believe them Not like I could go a second without thinking About the kind of feeling that you keep a secret But if I don't know if I even really feel it Then why am I finding it so hard to conceal it Are we gonna act like we got all night? 'Cause I tried to stay away from a Certain kind of tension tonight I don't think that we can write, can't fight I'm flush red, caught dead I'm swallowing my words I think I'm caught in a stalemate I'm caught in a stalemate I'm calling your bluff It was always heading towards a night like this And I don't think I'm ready yet But I'll never be as ready as I am right now I give you the real me You give me the power when I don't have a thing to lose I wanna believe it's true 'Cause I tried to stay away from a Certain kind of tension tonight I don't think that we can write, can't fight I'm flush red, caught dead I'm swallowing my words I think I'm caught in a stalemate I'm caught in a stalemate Now my face is on fire Inhibitions that I leave behind Like emotions that I'm slowly getting tired of Like risks I only take when I'm fired up But second chances never come when your guard's up So I leave it at the bottom of an empty cup I think your eyes say a thousand different words And everybody else is a blur 'Cause I tried to stay away from a Certain kind of tension tonight I don't think that we can write, can't fight I'm flush red, caught dead I'm swallowing my words I think I'm caught in a stalemate I'm caught in a stalemate I think I'm caught in a stalemate I'm caught in a stalemate
