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
