you don't know how long i've been waiting for
someone like you to come along
you see darling, i just wanna be adored,
let me be your baby, you'll be the muse to every song
every time your words seem to have a subtle tone
of resignation, a nervous glow
i cannot help to think that it is my flaws
laid out beside yours, they seem to weigh so much heavier
so i hope and i pray
to some gods and a enigmatic fate
your feet seem planted on the ground, so much steadier
i can begin to feel you knotting up my heart strings
that tension in my chest growing deeper
but how you do it, and how it sings,
because it already knows that this one's a keeper.
you saw my physical form cloaked in no silhouette
and i showed it to you with no sign of regret
we shared a non menthol cigarette
i could make your heart race, your skin sweat.
i could listen as you rant
philosophically, nonsensically
i could tell all those boys that you're my man,
i could live my life so unselfishly.
would you like it when i'd run my fingers through your hair?
or keep you sane when the world just doesn't seem to care?
tell me darling, are you still there?
or am i just talking to the humid still air?
