"Something Wild"
If not kissing you is deadly, consider me dead
If missing you is steadily rendering unforgetful
Forget me already so it’s easy for me to
Do the same thing; my thoughts reek of you
Our love’s not dead - distance is alive
Not well, fought so I could tell you something wild
To make you believe I’m not such a child
Am I immature, am I unsure in asking you
If you’re ready to go on, to continue
I guess that answered my question in itself
Future should bring love and garner me wealth
If you’re along for the ride, promise it’ll be
Worth your while, definitely something wild
Going to meetings, the obsession’s defeating
The life of my own is very misleading
I understand your complaints
But try living my life for once
Holding back tears, it’s past one
It’s after 2, and shortly three’s gone
I’m sitting here about to dream
But I didn’t want to lose the train of thought
I had to write down the words I’d scream
If it weren’t so late, if it weren’t so greatly detailed
In the night, the stars shine
I think of you and smile knowing
You might be awake as I am and keeping tears from flowing
Down your face and keeping your place
In the book you’re ‘reading,’ you say
So you have an excuse for needing to stay up late
Creeping down the stairs, I think of you
No matter where I go, it’s true
Your love has drowned me in it
But don’t think for one minute
That I don’t love it, patiently beguiled
I’m not too crazy to admit it, love is something wild
