A polka dot dress, silk ebbs and flows with your flesh
Covers lightly yet forbids that virgin skin
And that's how it was meant, just an implication
Control their perceptions without revealing a thing
I couldn't wait to tear you open, so how could I wait to watch you leave
We rushed into something grotesque, said we'd justify it retroactively
The summer came and went, with our promises
You said you'd have some time, I said I'd stay the same
But we couldn't stay, in our timelessness
You had one eye on your future, I kept my thoughts to myself
I kept my thoughts to myself
It was easier then finding out
And after all I've done I still feel something,
Maybe It's affection, just others skin doesn't feel the same
Keep your dress on, For another summer's sun
Keep your dress on, entice them but don't reveal your purest form
Love was just a word I said when leaving
That awkward adolescent sense of meaning
I hope you find someone who compliments you completely
I can't forget you so don't forgive me
