Jen Foster Parentheses Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's half a moment
Between the drinks and the deck
And I think you noticed
But there's no time to check
The shadows, the lights make
Estranged and abstract
And you make a joke
Just to watch me react

[Chorus]
And I could choke to death
On the words that I don't say
I could drown in the thoughts
That I don't give away
It's a trial, it's a told
It's a tease, living in fantasies
Is anybody noticing?

[Verse 2]
I stand in a shadow
The party goes on
I move to the light
And your shadow's gone
There's a breath I took
That I'll never get back
And there's a film in my head
That's fading to black

[Chorus]
And I could choke to death On the words that I don't say
I could drown in the thoughts
That I don't give away
It's a trial, it's a told
It's a tease, living in fantasies
Is anybody noticing?

[Verse 4]
There's half a moment
When you're saying goodnight
And you leave her shadow
And appear in the light
You make a joke
That I don't understand
'Cause I'm brought up short
By the warmth of your hand

[Chorus]
And I could choke to death
On the words that I don't say
I could drown in the thoughts
That I don't give away
It's a trial, it's a told
It's a tease, living in the fantasies
Living in the fantasies
Is anybody noticing?
