GIMME A SIGN!

 Katie Maloney

Lyrics:

walking up so casually i say “girl what’s your name”
“girl what’s your name”
“girl what’s your name”
you step real close to me with your gaze meeting mine
your gaze meeting mine
your gaze meeting mine
walking up so casually i say “girl what’s your name”
“girl what’s your name”
“girl what’s your name”
you step real close to me with your gaze meeting mine
and then you tell me that you wish for me to die

with every descriptor that lights up when i’m in your mind
if worthless isn’t one of them your existence is a lie
my brain’s decaying mush, you can feel it squish right through your fingers
inside i know my place but feel inclined to let me know

i lean in for a kiss and in return you bite my tongue
it seems teasing and tormenting is your idea of fun
most other individuals would break down at the sight
but after what i’ve been through i find pleasure in these fights

if the world was ending would you look me in the eye?
would you hold me close and tell me, softly, “it’s alright”?
all i want’s sincerity even if it’s barely there
do you even like me? just this once give me a sign
