"Permanent Hesitation" lyrics

I am just a lotus
And you are a vine
You need something to grab onto to get by
I am just a no one
And you are so divine
You need solid steel emotion to get by

And it's a permanent hesitation
And it permeates through elation

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye
And pretending not to know you're there

I am just a notice
And you are a sign
You read "under six figures need not apply"
I am just so, I am so unfocused
And you are in your prime
You need solid steel emotion to get by

And it's permanent hesitation
And it permeates through elation

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye
And pretending not to know you're thereis it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
I'm retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye
And pretending not to know you care

And it's permanent hesitation
And it permeates through elation
Yes, it's permanent hesitation

Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye
And pretending not to know you're thereis it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
I'm receiving wayward glances from your wandering eye
And pretending not to know you care

Yes, I'm pretending not to know you care
