Surprises

All these people sat around looking nervous
Thinking things profound that could well serve us
A pair of eyes say "Yes! Tell me anything!"
And as we look away, we cut the only string
Afraid to make the move in case it all backfires
What if?
Kills off the act and we're stuck with our desires

I told you what I thought
And when you laughed insane
I fell apart and never felt like saying it again but I had to
So I had no choice
And when you laughed I said "no, really!"
What do you think?
And your laughter was cut dead

We all retract an inhibition, faced with a lack of it
We find out how we really think and some of it always fit
Every person builds an image through habit restraint
It can take a total stranger to show them what they ain't
But, after all, could well be, but for the image of a self
That is there more for convenience
It's for everybody else

We all derive more pleasure from surprises
Characteristics become predictable
Faced with something new
Our instinct rises and everybody's life becomes more full
