i couldn't see the landscape
i was watching how you saw the landscape
you really saw the landscape

the view was less lovely than your company
the awkwardness was better than the ease
i may have had to hold back, i'm not sure
i won't hold back once you are certain, i'll be freed

your pets whispered to me that your an angel
even the cat, supine, admitted you were ok
the pristine state of your apartment was a fright
the only fear i felt aside from my own meddling

dating isn't something i ever thought i'd need
but i'd play any game to win your attention
though i might lose i hope it wouldn't matter
if you glimpsed something desirable meanwhile

i think i'd fall for you if you would let me
i'm really a gentleman through and through
i don't trust myself, however, to read faces
one game i cannot play is your emotions
