Everything's falling in big drops from beneath the sun/
Did everything except ruin my day/
Dented plush and a few floral stitches/
His hands moving along my curved body/
Fingers wrapping around my neck, pressing down in just the right places/
Each movement of his hands creating a new sound/
He had me caught in a trance/
With no escape/
He tied me in a straitjacket that I had no intention of struggling free from/
It was fascinating/
Watching his fingers work/
Moving up and down or back and forth/
Causing a squeak to emit in between each pause of his hands/
A smile stained my face/
And a sigh spilled over my lips/
A look of adoration tattooed as my expression/
Michael's face not much different than mine as far as I could tell/
I read through him like my favorite book/
His words etching themselves along my brain/
He told me of a dark past but a bright future/
He fits the word "fuck" anywhere into a sentence that he can/
Which I found extremely endearing and/
maybe a little sexy/
I can't seem to find enough words or comparisons to truly describe the way I feel/
When I'm with him/
It's only been one date/
Is this normal?
No/
This is something special/
Interpretation: The first stanza is not only referring to how their outdoor date idea got rained out but also how the raindrops fell off of Michael's face (the sun) and how he still looked cute. The second stanza is talking about Luke's couch back at his place, where they decided to go instead. The third and fourth stanzas are not about them having sex or even about a person. It's about Michael playing Luke's guitar OK. Nothing else. It's also about how Michael's fingers are so interesting and fun to watch. Line 13 is describing the little squeaky sound that guitar strings make when you changes notes. Stanza 7 ("I read through...") is about how Luke and Michael got to know each other and how Michael's mannerisms and these little details about him made themselves known. The last stanza is Luke realizing how much he likes Michael and he's worrying again about falling too fast but the last few lines show that he's kind of OK with it now.
