parked my car outside his house
told him i thought i knew
just what i never did seem to know
he only laughed and led me inside
to see what he had waited for me to see
and now i finally can see
just what it was i needed this time
thought i saw jesus in his eyes
thought i felt holy in his arms
guess thats what i needed was just bit of religion
thought that was what i thought i could need
better not need that this time
slipping thru time and space
running away from this desert place
wind blowing thru my hair
hands touching my face
this is not what i need right now
but god it feels so right
jumping out of my skin
stepping into his
take a moment to reflect
just what we had
it wasnt so bad
there will always be
moments when we need to see
its better just to get away
and i dont need that
the way i thought i did
cause honey i'm happy
the way i am right now
and if i do fall
be there to catch me cause i'm already there for you
***********
that boy
that boy sure likes to dance
i enjoy the comfort of watching him move
he moves with so much ease
that it relieves the part of me
that wants to be like that
he came to me with a whisper
"why dont you dance, you never dance
and i think you need to be with me
cause i can make your time so much more worth it."
and i just smiled
he sure has me in a trance
the way his body can move
the way that boy can dance
he dances in my mind
god how he can be beautiful sometimes
in the right light
that boy's eyes glance at me
from across this smokey room
he said "i cant seem to erase
what i think you could be
and i've been waiting for you to wait for me,
havent you waited for me?"
he took my hand
spinning me around that dark place
taking my mind off what it was on
how i thought i couldnt be so free
but i was free with him there
that boy sure can move mountains
with those delicate hands of his
and trembling eyes
that boy sure is more
than i ever thought that boy could be
i leaned in close and whispered right back
"where have you been for so long,
i think i could have something good here
if you just think the same as me."
that boy looks so good under the green light
his body twists to conform to what i like
his graceful fingers and dashing smile
melt the butter in me
the way he can move around me
the way that boy can keep his brown eyes on me
from across this dark room
is more than i can believe
that boy is nothing more that that boy
has ever been
under this new light
and i like to think that boy is mine
