Temperance

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.
