He says I turn everything into staring contests
I blame him for losing
And the truth is he's half right
I blame me for choosing to play
With someone so eager to look away
Send me a sign
A signal made of more than smoke
I'm out of nights to spend searching the sky
For flares of hope
When the distance between us leaves me cold
The least bit of warmth could make all the difference
I need a little bit of limerence
I'm not the girl, I know, who gets the guy across the room
Never pursued (oh no), code name "Moss" - I'll grow on you
And then I'll break your heart when I want no part
Of a love that settled in from indifference
I need a little bit of limerence
"You know one bird in hand is so much better than
The gesture that you want."
Is what he'll say to me to try and logic me into hanging on
Never noticing the irony of haggling
Is proof he wants a deal in this
While I want a little bit of limerence
Send me a sign
A signal made of more than smoke
I'm out of nights to spend searching the sky
For flares of hope
When the distance between us leaves me cold
The least bit of warmth could make all the difference
I need a little bit of limerence
I want the gesture
Someone to break the glass for the girl in the mirror
Just to get her, just to be near her, just because
And maybe that not's fair
But I'm just a girl feeding myself to the world
Asking it to love me
And there's only so much me I can spare
And whatever the limit is, I'm almost there
Send me a sign
A signal made of more than smoke
I'm out of nights to spend searching the sky
For flares of hope
When the distance between us leaves me cold
The least bit of warmth could make all the difference
I need a little bit of limerence
Just a glimmer of some limerence
Give me limerence
