The democracy of small things

I spoke to all my molecules and
they were divided
on if you were invited
love undecided
I told them,
now's the time you've got to
make your choice.
no more can avoid
lift up one solid voice.
They told me,
we just can't say yet.
there's a lot of 'yes's.
but also plenty 'no's
and we work by consesus.

I said,
pull in the stragglers
try to wear down their defenses
'cause it's getting humiliating
out here on the fence.
I spoke to all my molecules
hey guys?
did you see those eyes?
I know i felt you all there with me
swelling that one kiss
think of all the waves of holding back
we're gonna miss.
what's the problem?
why've we held back for so long?
Ready to move on?
