i would be a cowboy
and save my own **** self
and ride off alone into the sunset

i would slay the dragon
in my shining armor
because i'd be a knight with my own sword

i would be a flapper
smoking a cigarette
telling offended watchers "go to hell"

i would be Delilah
cut samson's hair again
a woman can be stronger than a man

i've always been afraid
     to fall in love
     put my heart on the line
     trust in anyone or anything at all
                                   at any time

but i trust you
     that you care about me
     that one day our futures will intertwine
     that one day
                but also right now
     i will call you mine

and i've always said
     you can't own anybody
     a person is not a thing to claim
but my heart belongs to you
     and i trust you feel the same
       and i think that's just fine

and i think it's good to have to wait
     to teach me patience
     to teach me trust
to teach me how to love
            myself and you
     and i'll see you and know you
                    by and by
              the ****** and i
