when you look at me you see exactly what you want to see
but not what i want you to see
'cause i don't know just how i want to appear
so how can you ever really see
any image i pretend to be
'cause it was never really me
pull the rug and watch me float above
i never really touch the ground
never really myself until i'm on your tail
coasting right behind you and your tug
i only ever try my great escape
when i'm right in front of your face
'cause when i pull it off it's all the more
mesmerizing
and then you'll beg for the illusion to stay
you'll draw me near
just so you can watch me
disappear
pull the rug and watch me float above
i never really touch the ground
never really myself until i'm on your tail
coasting right behind you and your tug
