I don't know where it came from Maybe it was the unusual warm air in November Or maybe it was the need to be known But at the mention of you Or the faint glow of another window I'm spiraling back into: Blood drive river bank lace your fingers into my hips Cold air nausea never even been kissed But don't you know I want you more than ever Don't you know I'd like to try? But I'm only everyone's open arms And you're their American icon Strolling through winter wheat Blond, strong and smirking at me And I'm hiding in my skin Insecure and inexperienced and I know exactly why Petrified at the thought of another drive home alone Tender at the thought of trusting Be gentle with me Only after I'm bruised deep blue Walk home with me Only after the lights are shot out and you've faded back to gray I have no stomach to explain passion and no armor to field my family's questions Just the burn of my chest under my thin jacket And the warmth of your hand on my skin And I met you at the blood drive and I let you under my skin Deep red they bled me dry as I gave you all I had within I'm alive but I'm weakened And you put the color back in my cheeks And you supported me all the way home So maybe I spiraled into this Maybe I'm still scared from the nights spent sleeping alone But in the warm November air I'll let you in Spiraling again.
Inspired by the office episode where Michael meets a girl at a blood drive.
