Permanent Hesitation - Born Ruffians

I am just a lotus

And you are a vine

You need something to grab onto to get by

I am just a no one

And you are so divine

You need solid steel emotion to get by

And it’s a permanent hesitation

And it permeates through elation

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye

And pretending not to know you’re there

I am just a notice

And you are a sign

You read «under six figures need not apply»

I am just so, I am so unfocused

And you are in your prime

You need solid steel emotion to get by

And it’s permanent hesitation

And it permeates through elation

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye

And pretending not to know you’re thereis it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye

And pretending not to know you care

And it’s permanent hesitation

And it permeates through elation

Yes, it’s permanent hesitation

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye

And pretending not to know you’re thereis it cheating if I call you sweetheart?

Is it cheating if you call me your man?

I’m receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye

And pretending not to know you care

Yes, I’m pretending not to know you care
