Bored Like Me

Please listen closely
I think you think you know what I want, but you don't
To want to know me
Is to ask me to ask you to tell, but you won't

And so we sit here
And talk in circles
Pointed politeness
Till we turn purple

Oh really, can we cut it all and break the walls
And talk like we've been married forty years?

I know you're bored like me

So tell me kindly
I wonder if you love like I love loving you
I'm going in blindly
So make the risk want the risk like I want you to do

Just scrap the questions, take off the masks
Let the curtain fall and lead me to the dark
Oh, darling are you there, say a word
I will not use this mouth for chatter anymore

Oh, I know you're bored like me
