Prawns - Sidestepping

Sidestep in wordplay
Back and forth
A dance of language
Moving with caution
Your eyes they promise a slippery slope
Into a whirlwind that never slows

You asked me why my heart is on my sleeve
Is that the only thing you notice about me

With your cards close
It's any guess what's in your hand
I know you want me and I want you back
But don't stay just for the sake of it
I'm holding on to every breath
My hopes are high and they're cemented
There's a hundred reasons I should care
But for you I will surrender
If I dare

A secret message
A shake of hands
A hidden passage
To foreign landings
Your eyes they promise a mystical road
Into a forest that swallows you whole

You asked me why I wear my heart on my sleeve
That is the only thing you notice about me

With your cards close
It's any guess what's in your hand
I know you want me and I want you back
But don't stay just for the sake of it
I'm holding on to every breath
My hopes are high and they're cemented
There's a hundred reasons I should care
But for you I will surrender
If I dare

If you're bluffing
Give it your best
But generously drop a hint
So I can contest

With your cards close
It's any guess what's in your hand
I know you want me and I want you back
But don't stay just for the sake of it
I'm holding on to every breath
My hopes are high and cemented
There's a hundred reasons I should care
But for you I will surrender
If I dare
