Brooke Frase-The Thief

Album:Albertin

Your eyes are full

Full of the future of us

The air changes as you look across

At me in that wondering way

It is as if

I knew you before we spoke

Do our hearts know something we don’t?

Converging, conspiring, without giving us any say

You sing me to sleep

Talk down my walls

Look through my windows as I wait

You could be the thief

I give the key to

You’re ruining me

With secrets and gestures and looks

With sonnets in second-hand books

Playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play

You sing me to sleep

Talk down my walls

Look through my windows as I wait

You could be the thief

I give the key to

It fits in your hand like the water in rain

Unlocks our two different selves

And shows we are the same

Rather than wait til I

Put me out for the taking

You’re breaking

You’re breaking into my heart

and I’m letting you

Your eyes are full

Full of the future of us...
