Fine Print

I've been holding back

I've been holding back



You're like a moving star

I can't get close enough to you

Been months I got your call

Our falling out, we slipped right into

You were an ace for me

My crazy heart got hold of you

Your hand called every bluff

I had to fold and let it go



Since I saw you last

I've been holding back

I figured I should

Do just that

I thought I'd crack

But I smiled instead

I'll let you

Read the fine print



I walk a line between

The thoughts of now and where I've been

Today the grass is green



I've got it all, so why reminisce?

I'm just a mermaid who is

Not content with waveless oceans

Sometimes a gusty wind

Is what I need to feel again



Read between the lines

For what got left behind

But I can't say, I'll hold it down

The weight of seeing you now
