she’s impossibly pretty, what’s that like?
to make a 1st impression shine that bright?
+++ but is she kind, is she good, is she funny,
+++ is she someone you would like to know?
+++ but there’s a trap that you trigger
+++ if you try to get near her, so you’ll never know
+++++ who she’d be, if she wasn’t so impossibly pretty…

she’s impossibly pretty, is that hard?
do grateful strangers keep her on her guard?
with wardrobe and make-up to seal the deal,
but to they amplify or conceal?
+++++ changed by what we choose to see,
+++++ in vector or velocity,
+++++ the physics of uncertainty,
+++++ is she a case, I wonder
+++ if she’s kind, if she’s free, if she’s funny,
+++ if she’s someone you would like to be?
+++ I can’t see past the game that she’s winning,
+++ while the prize keeps disappearing,
+++ so we’ll never know who she’d be
+++++ if she wasn’t so impossibly,
+++ we may never know who she’d be
+++++ if she wasn’t so impossibly,
+++ will we ever know who she’d be
+++++ if she wasn’t so impossibly pretty?
