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
