about
An exciting, danceable post-punk-disco-wave track. The first of several singles soundtracking our joyful emergence from quarantine
lyrics
I can see it in the way you stare
I know there’s something you desire
You would never speak it to the air
Though it consumes you like a fire
Funny how we feeble mortals think
Always wanting something we can’t have
Letting our obsessions run our lives
Letting our fixations drive us mad
I’ve been waiting for a sign
While you’ve been playing with my mind
I only want to know the truth
I’m holding out for someone new
There’s a different aura to your smile
A magnetism in your eyes
Something I know well enough by now
Though it still comes as a surprise
I hope I’m not making a mistake
I hope I’m not getting in to deep
I don’t mind the whispers and closed doors
You’re my favorite secret to keep
I’ve been waiting for a sign
While you’ve been playing with my mind
I only want to know the truth
I’m holding out for someone new
I’ve been waiting for a sign
While you’ve been playing with my mind
I only want to know the truth
I’m holding out for someone new
I’ve been living in a cage
Won’t you come and break my chains
Free me with your awful truth
And say you’ll be my someone new
