Then comes the hands too hot to touch
Feeling like this
I want to be with you so much
Driving to work in the morning
Everyone's house looks warm inside
I can't believe what I'm thinking
I've got to be out of my mind

When you give me a cactus flower
I figure you're telling me how it is
We make love, it's a cosmic shower
And I ask you, are we friends too

I talk to my sister about it all
To see what she did when she was here
She tells me don't give up your freedom
Which goes to show freedom is not so clear
I'm alive in my center
And true to the core is (in) how I feel
(And) I don't believe I have entered
The place she says where (when) nothing's real

You give me a heart shaped box
I give you a crackerjack ring
You say here I come ready or not
And I say I'd do anything for you

I call up my old friends to tell them
Any excuse to say your name
Finally I'm touched and I'm open
Fear and elation now feel the same
More and more often
I wave off friends to stay alone
The life of the party is nothing
Compared to the mystery that waits at home

When you give me a brown care bear
I give you a miniature moving van
When you tell me that brown bear cares
I say yes we can, yes we can

( Every move you never made
Every word you could not say
Every cry you cried alone
Can remain with us instead.
There's a bird for every sky
And a fish for every sea
And everything that's in between
Is where it is
Is what it is
