The Story of Love
This time I got it
Is it right to say right
Because it'd been like a thousand nights
Outside of the reach of your light
I was listless
Wandering
Alone in the wilderness
Pondering
My existence, what is this
Ne'er do well
Tale of an average male
Unhitched
Unsmooth
A lot of scratching of itch
With nothing to prove
Did I ever believe
Could I ever dare to dream
With my history
That I could be writing this story
Can I love you
While I count out love you
I have a ton of fear of not doing my part
As an anchor
As a lighthouse
As a pillar
As a dream-maker
As a knot in the rope
And the hoped for romance
As a partner in a slow dance
You gave me the chance and I took it
Slim that it was
Now watch us advance
Over all of this dust to dust
I got the moon in my eyes
As all this shakiness flies away
Disappearing
I'm here in my element
Fearing not one thing
Swimming freely
Hearing sirens sing
Ain't none of us bluffing, family
Where can't we go from here
We might have always been together
Making moves
Over time, over years, over eons
And maybe I couldn't remember
But this time
I'm writing it all down as you found me
All that we shared
All that we dared
Can I still love you
While I count out love you
Is it right to say right
Because it'd been like a thousand nights
Outside of the reach of your light
I was listless
Wandering
Alone in the wilderness
Pondering
My existence, what is this
Ne'er do well
Tale of an average male
Unhitched
Unsmooth
A lot of scratching of itch
With nothing to prove
Did I ever believe
Could I ever dare to dream
With my history
That I could be writing this story
Can I love you
While I count out love you
I have a ton of fear of not doing my part
As an anchor
As a lighthouse
As a pillar
As a dream-maker
As a knot in the rope
And the hoped for romance
As a partner in a slow dance
You gave me the chance and I took it
Slim that it was
Now watch us advance
Over all of this dust to dust
I got the moon in my eyes
As all this shakiness flies away
Disappearing
I'm here in my element
Fearing not one thing
Swimming freely
Hearing sirens sing
Ain't none of us bluffing, family
Where can't we go from here
We might have always been together
Making moves
Over time, over years, over eons
And maybe I couldn't remember
But this time
I'm writing it all down as you found me
All that we shared
All that we dared
Can I still love you
While I count out love you
