lyrics

Maybe it's the threat,
the thrill of the kitchen knife
but Evelyn I can feel
my heart beating faster
and faster
when you reach over
to pick up the chopping board
and your fingers
touch mine
for a millisecond
this time.

And Evelyn,
I picture you and I
living like this our whole life,
until you can hear
my heart beating louder
and louder
no longer swallowed,
muted by the kitchen timer
and your fingers
touch mine
for a full second
that time.

And Evelyn I wonder
if you can see the future
that I'm planning when you brush
your wet palm
against my back

and I almost forget to worry
if it's your
knife hand, but it's not,
you're done with all the
chopping

and the timers have all
timed us.

And when you say
to-may-to
I say
nothing

and when I say
you say when
you say
nothing.

So Evelyn eventually
it might all just be
a little too
much to contain.
