Seven letters – By Patrick Spencer

If you chopped our names in half and took what’s at the start
The only different letter is just two letters apart
Some call that a coincidence but now that I know better
I’m not surprised, that both of our names have seven letters

I guess I’ve blown my cover and I guess you know by now
That I can get a bit excited at these little things,
Like how that day you saw me on the sidewalk and you passed me with a smile
What I’ve painted in my head is gonna’ stay there for a while

But I’m afraid I’ve waited just about a week too long
To write down what I thought of you and put it in this song
And I couldn’t wait to see you, but you brought him along,
A very pleasant fellow, and a gentleman, don’t get me wrong

But I fear that he is here ‘cause I’ve done it again
And turned a very pretty girl into a very pretty friend
And I know I should behave but I don’t know what to do
Because the strongest part of me still wants to kiss so much of you

And I don’t think I can blame you ‘cause if I was in your place
And the creature I was calling disappeared without a trace
Before leaving all his weapons in a pile at my feet
I’d be the first to walk away, I’d be the first one down the street

And I don’t want these proceedings to turn into an attack
I know I’ve never had you but I know I need you back
This is something I don’t recognize and something of a trap
There is something that you’ve stolen, something I don’t want back.

If you chopped our names in half and took what’s at the start
The only different letter is just two letters apart
Some call that a coincidence but now that I know better
I’m not surprised that both of our names have seven letters
