if you curve your lips just slightly
you look like that guy i used to sleep with
he was beautiful in an unconventional way
his eyes always said more than he was ready to tell
i always wondered if maybe
he didn't know how to express his thoughts correctly
and chose to keep them locked
beneath his far off gaze
but then his lips would curve softly
and he'd whisper
just like you
about life and religion
and how my ass looked in that leather skirt
yeah just like you
he'd chew his nails down to nothing
as i waited to realize
the politics of our situation
yeah when he'd curve his lips like that
he looked just like you
