A Love
I'm not scared of you
I'm scared of me right here
I'm scared of taking stuff
I give up every year
I'm not scared of your dark eyes
They mesmerize and soothe
But I don't mess with burning coal
Or anything I can't control
A love to make the day go by
Like a gentle breeze
A love to make the difficult
Disappear with ease
A love like ones I've read about
Or heard about in song
A love like that might come to me
But never for too long
I'm not scared of your lovely mouth
It's your voice gets in the way
Saying ordinary things
That float on air and stay
I look down at your fingers
Imagine them entwined
In mine, and then I look away
Afraid that I might find
A love to make the day go by
Like a gentle breeze
A love to make the difficult
Disappear with ease
A love like ones I've read about
Or heard about in song
A love like that might come to me
But never for too long
I'm not scared of you
I'm scared of what could be
Like certain drugs
One taste and then you're never free
To wake up every morning
Only one thing on my mind
To satisfy a hole
I'm pretty sure I'll never find
A love to make the day go by
Like a gentle breeze
A love to make the difficult
Disappear with ease
Love like ones I've read about
Or heard about in song
A love like that might come to me
But never for too long
