Doting Songtext
von The Lighting Section

Check the time
It′s an hour later than I would like
But I would wait for you til sunrise
If you'd sit with me a while
So when you arrived
You were justified to look so surprised
I am sorry, I don′t mean to stare
I'm just resting my eyes

As you talk about yourself
I notice you have a tell
When you lie, you're betrayed
Because your stifled grin gives you away

It′s hard to get to know you
But I wonder if I could
It′s clear to me you're not as mean as you let on


Right after midnight
You were just chewing ice
You told me"I won′t leave yet
If you think I'm still not good to drive"
I complied
But I honestly thought you would be fine
Do you take the hints I′m giving
Or is this you being nice?

You agree and play along
Trying to be nonchalant
You're withdrawn and aloof
While I′m doting on you

But I want to get to know you
And I wonder if you could
Allow yourself to get to know me
Would you see why I like you?

You assured me you don't mind
When you offered me a ride home
You said"I might as well
It's on the way to mine"
But in the passing headlights
I caught you holding back your smile

You waved goodbye
And you waited until I had got in
I don′t know too much about you
But I think I′ve got you pinned
I think I've got you pinned
