Midwest Best Kept Secret - Lyrics - Gazillion

It was a Sunday when i stumbled And i started seeing stars On the converse shoes Of a recluse She wore them wide as angel's arms I moved my mouth But i just mumbled Something about the boulevard Being the death of me But she said she sees The cracks as battle scars So tell me why am i such a sucker for poetics You take the time to say something so sweet And I'll never forget it. And if you could, would you Relive that first kiss No i mean if, you knew You'd have the Midwest's best kept secret Sleeping next to you Well it was Wednesday By the time that i awoke I had a headache And my clothing smelled like smoke It was an hour and 15 minutes Before i found the strength to stand And i resolved to rendezvous again And exalted for my plan Then it was Thursday And i hadn't heard a thing Friday i started stirring But i kept listening I heard the door begin to open I heard my hinges start to squeak I hoped for good words to be spoken But they were gone just like the week When i said "You've got a spot on your soul" And she looked down at her shoes She said "you're losing control" I said "you're all i've got to lose" Give me a branch and I'll break it But give me a chance and I'll take it And run, and run So tell me why am i such a sucker for aesthetics You keep your sneakers so pristine But babe your conscience can't reflect it And if you could, would you Relive that first kiss No i mean if, you knew You'd have the Midwest's best kept secret Sleeping next, to you And you knew that she'd be leaving And you'd think you had been dreaming But in the beginning you'd believe That it was real And I've washed my hands of this They're just not dry quite yet And I'm having trouble holding on to anything Anything So tell me why am i such a sucker for poetics You take the time to say something so sweet And I'll never forget it And if you could, would you Relive that first kiss No i mean if, you knew You'd have the Midwest's best kept secret Sleeping next, to you And you knew that she'd be leaving And you'd think you had been dreaming But in the beginning you'd believe That it was real
