I’m not right for you but I love you
so forgive me for dreaming
what it would be like
if you felt something too
Dancing together just feels so right,
my hands touching you...
Oh honey come with me tonight
if you feel something too
I can’t read minds,
please give me a sign...
Oh how you tease...
Maybe it’s like the playground
and this means
you feel something too
No commitment in sight,
it just wouldn’t be right
If only this feeling didn't burn...
cuz I know I'm not right for you
even if you feel something
So go back to your steady lover,
raise a family and grow old together,
and forget you felt something too
You felt something too

Words Obscure the Truth

You’re awesome, I love you
The simplest yet truest words
I could ever say to you
Except that words obscure the truth
when they’re in plain view
Cuz you're awesome, I love you
In my sickness I dreamed of you,
your presence enough to carry me through
Usually my mind makes such crazy scenes
but this time just your arms wrapped around me
The simplicity surprised me
even though I always knew
Who knows if paths meet again
Does it matter when words obscure the truth?
Maybe one day I will say this to you
and you’ll know what I really mean is
you’re awesome, I love you

Love Always

Been thinking about you every day,
dreaming about you every night,
haunted by the dull, aching pain,
I may never love anyone again
The days are fair,
strolling languidly along The Strand
The Pacific is pale blue,
gently giving and taking sand
He's calm like the horizon,
clear and simple like the water,
reminds me of my handsome father
We spend hours together
But gazing into his kind eyes,
thoughts navigate back in time
to when you lit my soul alight
I know my heart can't always burn for you,
but right now an ember of hope stays
Until it's gone no element can soothe
the pain that comes from loving you always
He's calm like the horizon,
clear and simple like the water,
reminds me of my handsome father
We spend hours together
But gazing into his kind eyes,
thoughts navigate back in time
remembering the laughter and delight
I know my heart can't always burn for you,
but right now an ember of hope stays
Until it's gone no element can soothe
the pain that comes from loving you always

I'm Over It

Do I still 'like' you? a friend asked
after we three again crossed paths
For me it was love, not a feeling that comes and goes,
so yes
But I'm over it...
I guess
Dreamed about you again, I confess
It affected me as strongly as it did then
Awoke fearing I'd never be over it...
that it would always sting, at least a bit
But I'm over it
I'm over it
I am over it, over it
Ok so I'm not completely over it
I still walk on the other side of the street to avoid you
and I still get strung out for hours after leaving you
But I'm over it
I'm over it
I am over it, over it

Last Throw of the Dice
03:44

As I lie here awake
watching the world turn
the dawn begins to burn
that place, that time, that space
where the truth becomes clear,
unmasked by the rules of the day
and the lies of the night
It's easy now to see that this is nothing
more than a game to you
And I want you to know
that I've played with men and women,
few as good as you
And I'm only sorry
it took so long to get to you
Cuz if this is nothing more than a game to you
this is the last throw of the dice for me
I've got 27 years up my sleeve
and love's already got the best of me
The boys I've loved,
the mistakes I've made,
the prices I've paid
And I'm not sorry
and I would probably
do it all again if I could
cuz it brought me to you
But if this is nothing more than a game to you
this is the last throw of the dice for me
I've got 27 years up my sleeve
and love's already got the best of me
The boys I've loved,
The mistakes I've made,
The prices I've paid...
Still if this is nothing more than a game to you
this is the last throw of the dice for me
I've got 27 years up my sleeve
and love's already got the best of me
