steps on the pavement
maybe a handshake
eyes to the floor
opening that door

ask the right questions
saying my first lines
do we want another drink
that must be a sign

slowly taking off
knowing you don't fall in love
with the reality
but the image you've got of me
slowly taking steps
knowing we just met
because the reality
is not that image you've got of me

steps on my stairway
far from feeling safe
the things we don't like
They are easier to find

I can tell a different story
leave certain things out
filling in the blanks
sneaky holding hands

slowly taking off
knowing you don't fall in love
with the reality
but the image you've got of me
slowly taking steps
knowing we just met
because the reality
is not the image you've got of me

meeting someone new
is meeting a part of yourself
getting to know you
is finding about my other half

slowly taking off
knowing you don't fall in love
with the reality
but the image you've got of me
slowly taking steps
knowing we just met
because the reality
is not the image you've got of me
