Feel the chills in your body, tight gripped

As my fingers travel down you back

We were switching sensations and smart looks

You and me in the car when we were seventeen



Be careful with your words

Please don't just say what comes to mind

Rehearse sophistication

The clever actress could use the practice.

We're in uncharted waters

I paddled for two, you burned the map

Our sail's a tattered canvas.

Ignore the captain and look what happens



Rest now, no I won't sleep as sound

Searching desperately to find honesty in you

You're so beautiful, but I'm not giving in this time



Now I'm no poet

But I'm betting I can learn to describe you in ten lines or less

More hostile

Sing these like the first words you spoke,

But not to me

Regret this like days you bottled up and set to sea
