Once Around The Block

You quiver like a candle on fire
I'm putting you out
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout
But I'm fascinated by your style
Your beauty will last for a while

You're feeling instead of being
The more that I live on the inside
There's nothing to give
I'm infatuated by your moves
I've got to search hard for your clues

I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift
That I stole from just wanting to live
Now I see the vision through your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Trying to [bad word] your fear [bad word] to lose
Heart on your sleeve and your sole in your shoes
Take a left,
sharp left
And another left, meet me on the corner
And we'll start, again.
