Papermaps - You Glided Down

Our table’s peppered with coffee stains round
And hopes fall apart as words spill on the ground
I’m counting the crowds, now, I’m focusing fear
Eyes lock together and they all disappear
You’ve come to console me in the middle of town
I climbed up to meet you and you glided down

Public school groomed you for old Ivy League
My parents still slave in their dark factories
Working ‘till weary, too old and fatigued
So they may live through me vicariously
But now that you’re here we seek common ground
‘Cause I climbed up to meet you and you glided down

I’m lost in your gaze now, I’m looking for flaws
A solitary reason why I shouldn’t fall
I’ve said far too much now, there’s no need for confession
And you know what lies between the secrets I’ve given
We’re sharing a drink in the middle of town
I climbed up to meet you and you glided down
