A KISS CAN HIDE TWO FACES

 

When you try to hide a feeling

It’s like trying to hide the air

Too soon you feel it stealing  

Like fingers through your hair

 

You know something’s amiss

But there are no subtle hiding places 

You couldn’t even hide a kiss 

But a kiss can hide two faces

 

Not a peck on the neck, but a clench and a French, and you don’t even close your eyes 

But you know when you start, you know deep in your heart, that a kiss is a great disguise

When you kiss the sand, or kiss a hand, you know that time erases

But when you kiss on the lips, the world tips, and you’ve found two hiding places

 

CHORUS:

Only a two-faced snake would take

Would take, would take cold embraces

You give and take for what’s at stake

While your heart races

Because a kiss can hide two faces

 

Oh, you feel the threat, is not over yet, and you know it’s only beginning

So you hide in plain sight, while holding on tight to a world that won’t stop spinning

It’s not a flirtation, not an infatuation, some might even call it spying

It’s a way to survive, to stay alive, complying can be better than dying

 

CHORUS

 

CHORUS:

Only a two-faced rattlesnake would fake

Would fake sweet embraces

You give and take for what’s at stake

While your heart races

Because a kiss can hide two faces
