Im Ready to Take That Walk Now by Tapestry Lyrics
I know what I want, no I don’t
I’m stomping on egg shells pretending they’ll hold but they won’t
And I can’t make you change with my fingertips
Reciting the facts to myself makes it worse, still this helix I’m trying to create
Been breaking my back for an incurable ache
We’re two parallel cells on this path for eternity
We’re sitting so close but it just ain’t worth moving
At least that’s what I thought you would say
Then you made the first touch so I thought you would stay
But I’m packing my bags in a couple of months
Oh who am I kidding? We were just having fun
But the future seemed bright from afar
A promising dream but I took this too far
Now you consume my thoughts while good memories rot
I see your silhouette move in the room that I’m not in
In the night a bird chirping away, I wanna know if he keeps you awake
You pealed back the skin from the fruit and then threw it away
Aren’t you curious how it tastes?
Each syllable under my skin
I suck each one out but they find a way into my memory maze
And in my misery, bathe
Think I’ll get myself clean, but I’m way too afraid to leave all those feelings behind
Cynical thoughts once good feelings of mine
But I’ll see better days when I’m so far away
And distractions keep my mind from terrible places
But my mind can only wander so long
Then the haze dissipates you emerge from the fog
Well I know I’ll be fine, you’ll seem smaller in time
And I won’t need to be fucked up to get through the night
I’m still alive even if you’re off on your way
Don’t talk about time, no timing just isn’t my thing
So if I’m kept in the dark, well what do you expect?
I mean I only know what I know and that’s it
I’m ready to take that walk now
I’m stomping on egg shells pretending they’ll hold but they won’t
And I can’t make you change with my fingertips
Reciting the facts to myself makes it worse, still this helix I’m trying to create
Been breaking my back for an incurable ache
We’re two parallel cells on this path for eternity
We’re sitting so close but it just ain’t worth moving
At least that’s what I thought you would say
Then you made the first touch so I thought you would stay
But I’m packing my bags in a couple of months
Oh who am I kidding? We were just having fun
But the future seemed bright from afar
A promising dream but I took this too far
Now you consume my thoughts while good memories rot
I see your silhouette move in the room that I’m not in
In the night a bird chirping away, I wanna know if he keeps you awake
You pealed back the skin from the fruit and then threw it away
Aren’t you curious how it tastes?
Each syllable under my skin
I suck each one out but they find a way into my memory maze
And in my misery, bathe
Think I’ll get myself clean, but I’m way too afraid to leave all those feelings behind
Cynical thoughts once good feelings of mine
But I’ll see better days when I’m so far away
And distractions keep my mind from terrible places
But my mind can only wander so long
Then the haze dissipates you emerge from the fog
Well I know I’ll be fine, you’ll seem smaller in time
And I won’t need to be fucked up to get through the night
I’m still alive even if you’re off on your way
Don’t talk about time, no timing just isn’t my thing
So if I’m kept in the dark, well what do you expect?
I mean I only know what I know and that’s it
I’m ready to take that walk now
