All I Wanted

Feeling like a cardboard cutout
My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I can see something; it’s in your eyes
It pulls me in; I’ll stay for a little while

Too afraid to fall
I know, I know this could be a big mistake
But I’m too afraid to lose this chance
Afraid to let you slip away

Maybe it’s too late now
You drove away and took a piece of me
But I miss you like the cool breeze on a summer night
And it’s something I might never get to say

So I guess I lost my nerve again
Would it have been worth my while?
Now you’re haunting me, taunting me
I just want to fight the odds that are against us

Will you promise that you’ll hold me?
Will you promise not to lie?
Will you keep this all a secret?
Keep the fire that you’ve lit inside me alive?

Your kiss seems impossible
Your smile disarms me
But your touch is intoxicating
And I need another hit…
