I'm so happy...
i just wish i knew who you were
i wish you'd make yourself known
probably you don't know i'm her
the woman you want to call home
your body
forshortened
below
your shoulders
your face
so close
it's out
of focus
if we let our love
off of its leash
do you fear like i fear
how fierce it could be?
your headlights
sweeping
across my
ceiling
the breadth of
my smile now
the depth of
my feeling
way down in my dark life
a shaft of your light
shines through
and that is what i
what i think about
when i think about
you
if we let our love
off of its leash
do you fear like i fear
how fierce it would be?
love is like falling
and falling is like this
feels like reckless driving when we're talking
it's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking
but no one's going to sympathize when we crash
they'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask"
and we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try
one minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky
think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy, you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do
