Baby it's yours if you want it tonight
I Wanted To Break Your Heart, But You Have Me Hooked, Lined, And Sinking [March 18th, 2006]
I've been thinking of all the possible ways that I could break this to you
While carefully choosing the right words that'll hold nothing but the truth
And I'm adamant to steer clear of cliche phrases that are commonly overused
So that when it's stripped to the minimum, all that'll remain will be just me and you...
If you're wanting some old fashioned philosophy
Then I'll say that they say that honesty's the best policy
But, honestly, I'd like to beat around the bushes for a bit
Before I'm comfortable enough to come out and admit to it.
I think that I am ready now.
I'll claim addiction as I act appalled
Coping with distance has never been so hard
And I'm too afraid to speak
Too nervous to even think to blink...
I'm anxious to pause the dreaming and finally taste your lips
Hold you close enough to interlock them in a lustfilled kiss
A feeling so powerful sprung from the roots of honest love
Who in their right mind would be reckless enough to mess this up?
So let's just skip the dramatic exhales
'Cus we can't afford to gasp for air
Fast-forward to the beautiful entanglement
Of limbs and fingertips gently brushing through hair.
And it's safe to say you remind me of the constellations
The ones dreamers place all their concentration on
While they gaze into the skies looking for the one that falls
So that they can put the pieces back together...
