Beginners at Best - Tullycraft

We shared a cigarette twice before I noticed your shoes

It should have given me pause, instead it’d given me clues

You caught me staring but still we didn’t talk about it

I didn’t mean what I said when I told you you missed

A long goodbye at the airport, an improbable kiss

A toneless song and a drink, we didn’t talk about it

Jinx, lights

Taking this beginner’s advice

We heard a knock on the door

Twice

Don’t go checking replies

Don’t wanna talk about it

I’ve seen the look in your eyes

No we don’t talk about it

Still sinking now and then

Turn it on and off again

You weren’t built for indecision, I just didn’t know it then

Navigating the storm by the stars on your chest

You bite your lip and it bleeds

It reads beginners at best

You said we’d glitter when mixed but we don’t talk about it

Insomuch as I blame you for the problems we knew

I can’t imagine the shambles or the parties you threw

Without your signature sneer

But we don’t talk about it

Jinx, lights

Taking this beginner’s advice

We heard a knock on the door

Twice

Don’t go checking replies

Don’t wanna talk about it

I’ve seen the look in your eyes

No we don’t talk about it

Still sinking now and then

Turn it on and off again

You weren’t built for indecision, I just didn’t know it then
