about

A song of semi-unrequited possible love.

lyrics

There's something about your eyes, locked curious on mine-
something rich and piercing, something sweetly held in time.
It makes me want to cry.
Makes me want to smile.
Makes me want to take you home and lay with you a while-
just for a while, and not a minute more.
Just enough to sweetly hold the truth that sends me out the door.

There's something about your touch, unexpected and sincere,
that makes me want to travel somewhere far away from here-
perhaps to run away,
or run toward to stay,
perhaps to find a reason to keep going every day-
as if traveling can tell us what we're here for,
or at least enough to sweetly hold the truth behind what we adore.

There's something about your voice and the way you say my name
that keeps me locked in questions wishing this was all a game-
one with a winner and a loser,
a beginning and an end,
and something simple separating lovers from sweet friends-
but I'll let it go, and watch you walk away,
and, listening, sweetly hold the truth in all the things you say.
