If you could only see
What you’ve seen with your eyes
You would know how to feel
From the glow of the lights
It’s the smoldering heat
That has messed with your mind
Just a smothering look
Across the net and the lines

With the throw of the ball
And a hit of the pad
It’s the sound of its voice
That has driven you mad
And every bounce off the board
Is something more than you think
With a break from the hit
That will make you sink

Thoughts lie, all in memory of you
Sights will hide, in artificial view
And all our hopes have gone away

It’s the touch of your skin
And your beautiful stare
With an inebriant smile
That has made me swear
I will make you dance
Across this wooden floor
Jumping side to side
Simply begging for more

It’s your excessive moves
That forced me to wait
And the swing of your arms
I had to take the bait
It was the tap of your feet
To the jagged beat
Your pulse a delicate sin
That made it all too sweet

Thoughts lie, all in memory of you
Sights will hide, in artificial view
And all our hopes have gone away

The fault is always what we blame
The rules are always what we change

Thoughts lie, all in memory of you
Sights will hide, in artificial view
And all our hopes have gone away
