Hey

Hey.
I tired of
falling for boys who
fall for you
and then ask me out,
'cause i'm your best friend and that way
they can be closer
to you.

I'm tired of
falling for girls who
giggle when they kiss me
in the dark and then talk non-stop
about how they need a boyfriend to make
their life complete.

Hey.

I'm tired of
falling for you
and your fleeting attention
and your up and down swings
and your lips
your dark eyes
and I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of
falling
for lips at all
or hips
or kindness
I'm tired of
that pit-of-needy
feeling.
So maybe I oughta
just stand straight
move on.
move back or forward
or any way at all
'cause,
you know
you can't fall down
just moving.
