I sought you in a difficult season
Where I tended to hide my heart
But I telegraphed all my moves
To draw it nearer to you
There was no reason to be so fearless
You were hoping I'd be insincere
But I kept the hope that I'd choose

It's sublime that you get more tough
The more you sense that our death is coming
You're hitching a ride to the final stop
It's just a way to pretend you're living
Why do you think it can't happen again
Why do you think we're so indecisive…

Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
