A Real Mean Slow Song

lyrics: it hangs in the air/in this room/and these chairs/the space between you and me/we don’t speak and it kills/like the ice in my drink/melts so slowly/but it sure does love lips company/I’m sure we’d all love some company /to melt quickly/now I’m shaken/it’s stuck in my head/my mouth is a clumsy stone/oh sweet distraction/please lend me a hand/it comes in the form of a phone/now everyone is dancing/why can’t we kick in/you keep clicking your purse a mile a minute/you’re impatient/and this slow dance /won’t end/and I swear I saw the minute hand/curl back/the questions on my tongue/the song/has already passed/now they’re jumpin’/and you wanna jump in/your eyes /flying around the room/well get off your chair /I’ll still be here/a statue/and I missed my chance/and I knew how to dance/a real mean slow song/or at least could of sang along/or at least you could of sang along/opened your mouth and sang along/sing with me
