Sorry Or Please Lyrics

Five weeks in a prison
I made no friends
There's more time to be done
But I've got a week to spend
I didn't pay much attention
First time around
But now you're hard not to notice
Right here in my town
Where the stage of my old life
Meets the cast of the new
Tonight's actors, me and you

Each day is taking us closer
While drawing the curtains to close
This far, or further, I need to know
Your increasingly long embraces
Are they saying sorry or please?
I don't know what's happening, help me

Through the streets, on the corners
There's a scent in the air
I ask you out and I lead you
I know my way around here
There's a bench I remember
And on the way there I find
That the movements you're making,
Are mirrored in mine
And your hand is held open,
Intentionally
Or just what I want to see?

Your increasingly long embraces
Are they saying sorry or please?
I don't know what's happening, help me
I don't normally beg for assistance
I rely on my own eyes to see
But right now they make no sense to me
Right now you make no sense to me
