The Green Light

When the green light comes up next to your name
I think about the moth and the flame
But then it turns into a blue butterfly
And to your kitchen I ride
Where your table is made of solid wood
Which is just as well 'cause neither of us can cook
It'll take our weight as we spill your wine
And we do this dance one more time
You are the twins, I am the scales
We dance even after the music stops
You are impulsive, while I'm indecisive
We both just want to feel loved, to feel love
Empty boxes on each other's list
I wanted alternative, you wanted tall and rich
But music is a force to be reckoned with
Vive la difference
In this dance of differences we learned so much
Through graciousness and playfulness and honesty and touch
And so we lasted eight and half months
If you don't count the one or two hiccups
You are the twins, I am the scales
We dance even after the music stops
You are impulsive, while I'm indecisive
We both just want to feel loved, to feel love

I miss the mornings when you dance and sway
Making smoothies that are kind of greeny grey
How I love your get-up-and-go
And you say I'm the kindest man you know
I guess I'll always ponder compatibility
Nature and nurture and insecurity
But for now you'll find us swiping left and right
Though easily distracted by green light
You are the twins, I am the scales
We dance even after the music stops
You are impulsive, while I'm indecisive
We both just want to feel loved
We both just want to feel loved
Everybody just wants to feel love
