You could say it But you don't That's kind of the point Three little dots, then nothing comes You type it out, delete half of one Send me a picture, no context there I know exactly why I should care You say, “You up?” At 1:03 Like that's a perfectly Normal thing to ask me I send one word You send back five Neither one says What's on our mind Say it sideways Say it any way but straight Leave a little space I'll meet you halfway Change the subject Change it back One more joke I know that act Coffee on Tuesday, you call it a coincidence Same little table, same bad evidence You talk about traffic, I talk about rain We're getting impressive at avoiding the name Look left Look right Hold that thought Not tonight You almost say it Then you smile Make me wait Another while You can say it sideways I can read between the lines Every little almost Gets a little less disguised You can say it sideways Leave the obvious unsaid Your mouth keeps changing subjects But I heard what your eyes said Don't say yes Don't say no Give me somewhere else to go Half a word Half a sign You keep yours I'll finish mine Say it sideways Say it any way you like Leave a little space— I'll say it this time I like you
