i can see it in the glow in your eyes
and i know you’re mine
and we talk and we laugh and we play
and i know you’re mine

yes i love to sleep in your arms i say
and i’ll let you hear the words
if it makes you feel it makes it alright

my heart’s not mine i’m forever hers i say
you stare and you smile and you ask
if it’s alright that you stay
and all the words mean nothing
when you hear what you want to hear
and you hear what you want

and so we turn this room into
a secret kept between us two
and you keep the secret from yourself
of my heart broken in two
and our charade continues

though she owns the other half
you have to have what you want
and all i want is to feel this here with you

you push the buttons on your shirt
and i see her shape
you run your fingers through my hair
and i feel her hands
tonight here with you
i’ll be with her

why why why how can this be
this has happened to me
you want me so much and her so little
and me feeling so little and wanting her
so much
how can this be when i dared to dream

i see the sun trace her lines
like i’ll lose my mind
staring at the skin so bright
it makes me blind to the world
watching the gold sun colors of love
run down her neck
and over her shoulders
and across her tummy
and it’s all more than me

and it’s been more than me
for far too long

you smile and you kiss me and pretend you don’t see
my hands making love to her memories
kissing her in tattered pictures
picturing her here with me
but it’s all in my head
and it’s always been
for far too long
and all i want is to feel this
here with you

and so i turn this all into
an empty afternoon between us two
and i keep the secret from myself
of my heart fixed by you
my heart could be fixed by you

tonight i’ll sleep in your arms
and i’ll be with her
