Feet Wet

Don't jump in yet.
The wine hasn't worn off yet.
You don't want to regret
Anything you might have said.

But when you kiss me,
Hopefully your lips will see
The truth within me
Is lingering on my lips.

No, I don't want to slow down tonight.
In the morning, maybe, we  can make it alright.

My makeup
Is on the shoulder of your white shirt.
And all I can think of
Is if you leave, how badly I would hurt.

You say, "It's late, Love.
Get back to sleep, Love.
And when you wake up,
I'll be right here."

Every time I close my eyes,
I want to know that everything will be alright.

So when you kiss me,
Hopefully you will see
The truth within me
Is lingering on my lips.

I don't need any help from you
Doing things I know I really shouldn't do.
And of all the things I'm absolutely sure of,
The only question in my mind is the sure thing of your love.

Don't jump in yet.
We can get our feet wet.
The wine is not gone yet.
I don't want to know yet.

So just kiss me.
And in the morning, maybe,
We'll riddle this right.
Just hold me tonight.

That's Love

You said you'd wait for me,
but I don't believe it.
I can't make you any promises.
You may be waiting longer than you planned.
I was just about to quit, and then you said,

"Your hands aren't steady.
Your knees are shaking.
But don't you worry,
I'll be waiting.
Just pull yourself together now,
and when you're done,
I'll be right here, 'cause Baby that's love."

You said you needed space,
and I gave it to you.
You said you didn't know if you'd come home.
I wrote a note.
You were just about to quit, but then you read what I wrote,

"Your hands aren't steady.
Your knees are shaking.
But don't you worry,
I'll be waiting.
Go ahead, go and find yourself,
and when you're done,
I'll be right here, 'cause Baby that's love."

I heard a knock at the front door,
and when I opened it up, you were kneeling on the floor.
You said,

"My knee is steady,
But my hand is shaking.
Just say yes, 'cause I've been waiting.
Promise you'll be home every time I come home."

And I said,
"Yes, 'cause Baby that's love."

My hands aren't steady.
My knees are shaking.
But don't you worry,
I'll be waiting.
Oh, 'cause baby that's love.

The Dream

I woke up with a headache
In an unfamiliar place.
But I started to feel at home
When I turned and saw your face
At the window,
On the outside,
Looking in.

Got up off the sofa,
And I stumbled to the door.
I didn't know what I was doing,
But I knew I wanted more.
So I took a step outside,
Stopped right by your side and looked in.

And I saw you and I saw me
I saw a happy family.
And I saw us.
It was just a dream.

I'm in reality now,
And I'm rememebering how
You look right through me.
I'm not even there.
But in casual conversation,
You're the one that brought it up.
You don't know what you do to me,
And you don't really care.

But I saw you and I saw me.
And you asked me what I'd think,
And I said I don't care.
It's reality.
But the fact of the matter is,
If you want an answer,
I've got to be number one.
Not two or three.

So ask again, love.
Oh ask again.
I've thought it over.

Got up off the sofa,
And I stumbled to the door.
I didn't know what I was doing then,
 But today I want  more. So much  more.

I saw you and I saw me.
Ask again, Love.
I saw you and I saw me.
Ask again, Love.
I saw you and I saw me
And you asked me what I'd think
And I said it's reality.
