We should be lovers

Or at least that's how the tune should go

The question hovers

We're in a bed of denial below

It creeps up on me

Begins to sway my thoughts to and fro

Unruly feeling

Taking the mind (mind) to where it shouldn't go

I need you to want me

So much that one touch will make you so nervous

You might stop breathing

So much that one touch will make you so reckless

You might start feeling

So brave that one touch will finally show to me

What you can't hide

Oh, but until then

I'll wait for this ache to subside

They want a story

To fly the flag of the old cliche

A public glory

Burton and Taylor made, oh

I need you to want me

So much that one touch will make you so nervous

You might stop breathing

So much that one touch will make you so reckless

You might start feeling

So brave that one touch will finally show to me

What you can't hide

Oh, but until then

I'll wait for this ache to subside

We can't be lovers

For the sake of love not to waste

Pull back the covers

Would we find there our rightful place?

You yearn for wisdom

But for my youth I won't apologize (oh, oh)

Too young to give up (too young)

On a life I romanticize (romanticize)

(Too young to compromise)

I need you to want me

So much that one touch will make you so nervous

You might stop breathing

So much that one touch will make you so reckless

You might start feeling

So brave that one touch will finally show to me

What you can't hide

Oh, but until then I'll wait for this ache to

'Til then I'll wait for this ache to

Subside
