Risk

I'm embarrassed that I care this much
It's foolish but I came here just
To tell you that I loved you once
Though I left in such a rush

The summer I was twenty nine
Your mouth so fine like blooming flowers
Unfolding in the golden hours
That lit us when we touched

I may make too much of this
It seems so right I can't resist it
That you could be the silver bullet
To kill that howling fear

I guess it happens all the time
That's someone's life but it's not mine
That's someone's wife but she's not mine
The image I hold dear

Well it seemed like proof though briefly held
Then ached like wisdom teeth until
Time that great big spinning wheel
Brought me back around

And though I'm in a different place
There's times I dream and see your face
I haven't found one to replace you
Not yet anyhow

I may make too much of this
It seems so right I can't resist it
That you could be the silver bullet
To kill that howling fear

I guess it happens all the time
That's someone's life but it's not mine
That's someone's wife but she's not mine
The image I hold dear

Surely there's some peace in this
That you exist and I exist
If all my pride and selfishness
Has brought me only loneliness
Than love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
Love's a risk that's worth the risk
