Hard To Get

from Long Time Coming by Justin Maki

/

about

Unrequited love is a painful game, especially when playing the "pursuer"; on the other hand, it can be satisfying to play the "pursued".

lyrics

Standing naked in the rain
Watching mental pictures break
I recall the sick charades
That left my heart locked in a trance

You let my fingers sail your hair
The soft embraces that you’d share
Yet I’m playing solitaire
Misperceived romance

I do not regret attempting your affection
Just tell me what went wrong
Crippled, bruised, and bent
I plead for some direction

Oh, one-sided love
I have had enough
Of hard to get

Different story, different girl
I gladly watch the tables turn
See the lantern light the mirror
And show a seed carelessly thrown

I recall that dance floor kiss
Felt the tremor in your lips
Caught you buried in your bliss
And you were all alone

I do not regret tempting your affection
A trial is all is was
Crippled, bruised, and bent
You plead for some direction

Oh, one-sided love
Dates have come and gone
Vague pursuits we follow through
And yet we're always on the run
I have had enough
Of hard to get

If you leap
She’ll drift beyond your reach
She’ll appear the low hanging fruit
And in time, as you chase
Your love will lock the gate
And that’s when you start anew

Oh, one-sided love
Dates have come and gone
Vague pursuits we follow through
And yet we're always on the run
I have had enough
Of hard to get

Vague pursuits we follow through
And yet we're always on the run
I have had enough
Of hard to get
