A Bad Debt Follows You

stand off, a stand off
we're off to the send-off
you sit on the stairs
lost in your hair
what's that you're wearing?
it looks like a necklace
oh, how the stars
shine on your face
I won't stand
I won't wait
I won't stand for that
I won't wait now I say
another time in another room
skin turned and held sweat
lost in all it's feeling
I fell in your eyes
I fell for your eyes
pull back the curtains
let in the dark
I'll lie and watch
while your hair sparks
I won't stand
I won't wait
I won't stand for that
I won't wait now I say
another time in another room
another time in another room
you told me stars would fall
you told me ice would melt
you told me everything!
now and again
a bad debt won't wait
I won't wait
