Reintroduced

When life introduced me to you, it also reintroduced me to myself

This doesn’t mean you’re the one

But you caused my security knot to be undone

Now I’m questioning everything that I ever known

Telling myself to just hang up the phone

He is washed up, with all of his washed up dreams

But then he makes it look easier then it seems

To drop your entire life and live for the moment

But reality is way too potent

Is the entire universe conspiring with me?

I’m fragile and regret cuts me deeply

I want to be like Spike and do the right thing

Should I be like Mike and trade the jump shot for the swing?

There must be something I can master

But then I cover the insecurity with laughter

It doesn’t matter

Telling me I can be anything is just his way to flatter

I’ll stick to crunching numbers and commonplace meetings

Going to and from work, crowded subway, no seating

A little bitter because your life is where I would have seen myself

This doesn’t mean you the one

Just another tangled web has been spun

I don’t want to sabotage my present, but how else can I win

I don’t want to sabotage us, when I dig within

You reintroduced me to me, hi, it’s nice to meet you

I took a good look at myself and said ‘it’s a competition, and I think that I can beat you’
