Is it land I seek,
Or the sky up above?
Did it only take a week
For me to fall in love?
Your lips, your eyes,
Your hands, your hair;
It should be no surprise
What's already there.
And yet I feel anew,
An excitement in my veins;
I know it must be true
Because I fight to restrain.
When you say my name,
I feel a spark;
No one else is the same
Or makes such a mark.
You waited on me,
And we talk every day now;
Is it the truth I see
Or the desire I can't ground.
You pushed me in a way
That made me pull back;
I can no longer stay
On a straight and steady track.
Now it's not enough;
I give more and you give less.
Is it a game to play rough,
Or am I causing you stress?
I just know I'm bound
To get hurt again,
But I haven't yet found
A safe place to land.
Is it land I seek,
Or the sky up above?
Did it only take a week
For me to fall in love?
