special delivery from the city
that was tailor-made for our love
the city that won’t let us sleep
the city that fits us like a glove
i swear - on the powers above
i’d give it all up before i take you down
i already spent half of my time out on this town
but this is me - dan, in real life
who always watched as love-lives passed me by
oh, my (my, my)
My past is hard to remember
like last week’s headlines
but when i saw you i was blinded
by your ojos in headlights
stage-fright, i’m avoiding
as we pillow talk,
with new phrases i’m coining
the only thing i can say is -
i don’t ever want to this end,
at least not yet.
you’re a holiday heartbreak
waiting to make my world shake
or…
a lost soul running down the beach with rainboots on
or…
a perfect girl running through my dirty mind with no panties or shoes on
love…is like a lost dog
that doesn’t make sense - hold on.
love, to me - used to be a lost cause
but love - is what i think i once saw
when i saw you.
love, is you.
and now, you, with me,
are gliding into skies with no more birds nearby
who usually just put me on swerve
side-tracked, never
i’m grown now,
and better,
than i could’ve been
when you met me then
soft lips and light skin
i’m lost in
you tell me
about before, when
you were insecure
but i’ll make sure
you’re not anymore
let’s take it slow
slow
you say no - but trust me
it’s not for tonight
i’m seeing you tomorrow
and the next day
if you let me.
i’ll fall asleep inside you
if you dreamt me.
and…
all i can say is -
this should never end
not yet.
so before the night
takes us away
before the sun
makes us go our own way
just stay.
i’ve given up
on trying to wait.
so, just, stay.
