I Fold - Hello Saferide

I walk these streets like a shadow

A trap hidden in every corner

My hometown for a million years, Maia!

Still, I feel lke a foreigner

What if she’s brilliant, Maia?

What if she’s as smart as me?

What if he’s chosen her so well I could have loved her myself?

Don’t tell me, my soul was never that bold

I fold, Maia, I fold

I’ve been spending these days wondering what would be worst: if she’s pretty or

if she’s not

If she is, I could hold him as shallow.

I could feast for days on that

But if she isn’t, I’ll know that it’s true love —

But against beauty, I cannot compete —

It’s July, but my fingers are cold

I fold, Maia.

I fold

And there are days when I want to feel him so bad it makes me lose my sleep

There are nights I could swear I got the fever just thinking of him

Maia, you said I should try counting sheep

So I met them, it was on a Sunday.

I ran into them on the street

There I was with my near perfect CV, there I was with my college degree

My clothes much more well-fitting than hers, my comments more witty and street

She’s got the bosom of an eighteen year old

I fold, Maia, I fold
