Scenario

Glow in the dark ceiling stars
You're working me like a safe combination
I was drowning but then I looked up
Glow in the dark ceiling stars
Now all I can think about is a scenario
Where we're not married
You're 22 living in your parents basement
The same place you've been living since you were 13
We've been on a few dates
But this is the first time you've invited me inside
I've had you in my car, on my couch, on my front yard
But I told you my bed was a sanctuary
And I think that placed the idea
That if I saw your bed
My bed would become an option
You met me at the DMV
Where I work
And instead of bleeding out your ears in anger
You perked up at the sight of me
Believe me, it was noticeable
Because no one ever is happy to see me
During our first date you explain to me your living situation
You had a tone in your voice that showed you feared I'd walk out
But I didn't
Because you're pleasing you're parents
Living at home
Going to school
That's wholesome
You say you're minuets away from a diploma
But that you've changed your degree so many times
You're not sure you'll ever make it to graduation
I can tell you're nervous watching me look at your room
You hesitate
Look all around in case something's out of place
I don't wait on you
I strip
And sit at the edge of your bed
The nakedness gives you confidence
This scenario feels like a movie
But only lasting a few seconds
You stir my attention
To the matter at hand
Your hands
