It's You
When I feel like my words are as clear as cookies on Christmas,
Like, how could you not know?
And if I asked you out, would you want to go?
And I wonder if maybe you're not sure.
Because sometimes our conversations can feel like a blur.
Or are you sure, but too scared to ask -
Treating your heart like broken glass -
Trying to tape up the wounds of your past,
Scared this might last,
Scared this might go somewhere fast,
But I want you to know:
It's really okay if we take things slow.
Because it's you I really want to get to know.
You keep thinking it's just physical,
But really it's quite quizzical,
my love is more than clinical,
and when you don't respond, I feel like I'm swimming on a broken elliptical.
And then you smile and I smile too.
You make me laugh but you can't see that it's you.
I guess I thought
Because I expected you to know
Because I thought once you knew you’d tell
Because I thought
Hell
Because I didn’t think it through
I didn’t think it would be so hard to sell my love to you
To show you
To help you
To make you believe
To touch you
To kiss you
To help you see
That maybe someone does love you
That maybe someone does love you
That maybe someone wants you to see
That maybe that someone could be me
