Can I write some lyrics without love
To try and explain myself to you
We're still sharing our footsteps
But with a different gait
refrain:
I see the small of your back
And my hand there
Just beneath your golden hair
And I am not prepared to stop
Calling you my boyfriend just yet
I interpret your story as meaning that there is
Possibility at the end of patience
But that doesn't change the fact
That 3 years later is still older than I am
refrain
I'm happy you tell me that's why you love me
So maybe you gave me happy in your kiss
And maybe your words brought me happiness
Or maybe you helped me find where my happy was hiding
And in my attempt to not speak of you in the past tense
I fear I've lost all concept of the present and this
New gift that you offer me cause I can
Still feel you inside of me as if you really were
refrain

sarah says: this song was written for a boy with long blond hair who used to live on temperance street. and i guess, i've finally prepared myself to stop calling him my boyfriend. it sounds like a happy song, but it's probably not. all i know for sure, is that chris likes it faster.
