THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
I don't know her well enough to love her
but I can feel her turning me on
I don't know if she really wants to
she could be just making convesation
or being polite
but I find myself thinking about her
more and more each night
wondering where she sleeps
wondering if she's alone
wondering if she thinks of me
or is this thought all my own
not quite love
not quite romance
but she makes me want to
get up and dance
not quite love
not quite lust
but something about her
makes me want to trust
maybe she's the friend I need
to wake me from my dark malaise
the rain to cleanse my dirty soul
the one to end my lonely days
but I know nothing about her
just that she comforts me
whenever she smiles my way
I wonder what does she see
not quite love
not quite romance
but she makes me want to
get up and dance
not quite love
not quite lust
but something about her
makes me want to trust
will she understand
how wounded I am
will my broken wings
scare her away
if I start fluttering
and gasping for breath
will she breathe new life
or just add to my death
I'm afraid to trust
old betrayals still burn
will she bring me back
or just watch me yearn
I don't want to be frozen
and I dont want to quirm
I just want to relax again
and trust...
I just want another turn
oh... it's been so long
since anybody cared to listen
to my heat's song
oh... it's agony
to live in a world where
nobody knows me
does she want to know me
or is she just being polite
I'm asking this question
alone another night
maybe I've just forgotten how
to let love become real
and all that's left of me
is all that I can feel
not quite love
not quite romance
but she makes me want to
get up and dance
not quite love
not quite lust
but something about her
makes me want to trust
maybe tomorrow I'll ask her
maybe I'll wait another day
maybe I'll just watch her a little longer
and hope she doesn't go away
Not Quite Love
