i know he knows the shortcuts
and every corner in my heart
i know he knows how to follow through
but even gypsies wish to be courted

and if in one drunken moment we share a passion then
may the guitar and piano notes flow straight through me
and may we always remember this singular precious moment
drinking milky tea under stars that are aligned but should not be

for one so small as i
the price was much too high
the heart still beats an inconsistent time
and falls short
to ridiculous rhyme

perhaps we are unlikely heroes
but at least we are heroes

like a rabbit in a cage
no like a bird with broken wings
i lack no conviction

oh but that i could fly
be as blue as the great beyond
sing a song that leaves all who hear it weeping

for love is happily

when i look at him, i see you-
except you're better at magic than houdini

****** knees but nothing comes free
kisses are messy, even petite
even i know this
even i know this

if you hold me close
especially if you close your eyes
especially if you look into mine
especially if you lie
i can lie
we can lie
we can lay and lie and pretend to sleep

how you move on me
how we burn
what it tastes like when you
know me know me know me
like you mean it
because i want no one but you

you are to me an entirely new world
yes you see but a safari
world and you my wild thing
so let us draw near and
i know you could teach me a thing or two
the way nature can choose to do
but we're too close and it's hard to breathe
i wish sometimes i could disappear into the
way you run like you don't even know
if you don't look back i'd never know
i'm just trying hard to it let go

we find each other when we're looking
when we least expect to know
i see myself in you
and you see in me what you will
when we're disappointed we forget
but hold me close and we'll remember
for the sun is not up long
and the night that much longer
when the rest is left to the great unknown

beauty is not unwild
is not quite tame or mediocre
but beauty
for God's sake
is not rare
