We should have known, the signs were there
Pushups on your headstand was a warning clear enough
But captivated you left us standing
And caught out in the open no place to go
You smiled, and closed the distance
There would be no other chances
You smiled, we should have seen the signs
We didn’t run, we didn’t want to
With both hands you pushed aside any hesitation
The second you took hold we knew
The one way street we were taking
Wiry, lean, assured, and standing
Your stomach was warm granite, resisting
This would be ending badly, we gave in
We found ourselves in quiet places
Though there would be no guarantee
That it would remain that way for long
When you locked the door, windows bolted
And you hid the key away, no more play
You said that what we dream is made real
We couldn’t help but think of nightmares
When you said none would leave until we screamed
With both hands you pushed aside any hesitation
The second you took hold we knew
The one way street we were taking
Wiry, lean, assured, and standing
Your stomach was warm granite, resisting
This would be ending badly, we gave in
Crabwalked naked across the ceiling
To put the fear of your grip in us
And spun one handed from a hanging light
To precede a somersault landing on the springs
Better to show off your balance and your grace
You had given us you smiling warning
But your jumps had left us reeling
And now we have no one else to blame
With both hands you pushed aside any hesitation
The second you took hold we knew
The one way street we were taking
Wiry, lean, assured, and standing
Your stomach was warm granite, resisting
This would be ending badly, we gave in
