That thing you do...

In half-slumber,
In unknowing.
In trying to hold onto the floating riff-raff
It’s that thing you do!

In surprises, fleeting glances,
In not answering when I ask,
In speaking when you do
It’s that thing that you do!

In my dreaming,
In my wanting to hold you
It’s always that thing you do
To Me.

You,
Doin' that thing you do,
Breaking my heart into a million pieces,
Like you always do
And you,

No particular reason as to why I paste the song, but then things like these don't require reason

R,

H,
You are wonderful and yes am pretty much with you on reason, un-reason.Lot of things were racing through me when I was writing it so I wrote in very less time, almost like getting over with it as soon as I can.
