Other Half

You keep your secrets close, much like I want to keep you,
But I never know when you're going to pull away, or what to say when you do;
I wish that I could find the right words and use them at the right time,
Because maybe if I could, I could find a way to really make you mine.

This thing we have is simple, and yet so very complex -
And baby, this fire is fanned by so much more than just sex;
We fit together so perfectly that sometimes I'm not sure where I end and you begin,
And if loving you is wrong, then it turns out that you are my favourite sin.

I want to know you, baby, from the inside out,
Learn all about your little idiosyncrasies and self-doubt...
I want to be your safe-haven, the place you go to hide -
The first one that you run to when there's a storm inside.

I want to make you feel all the things I do when I'm with you,
I want you to know that there is nothing in the world I wouldn't do...
To be with you, to see you smile, to be your other half;
The one who wears your ring, bears your children, and makes you laugh.

I want to know that I will always catch your eye,
That I will always be your favourite hello and hardest goodbye;
And I didn't know it when I offered you cookies, but we lit a spark...
So you should know that, since then, you've become my light in the dark.

You say that I am the best reason to be, but I wish you could see
That the best reason has always been you, instead of me;
No one else has ever made me feel as safe as I do when I am with you,
And though I was lost when you found me, you helped me find myself, too.

And I still want to know you, baby, from the inside out,
Learn all about your secrets and your favourite takeout...
I still want to be your safe-haven, I can be the place you go to hide -
Be the first one that you run to when there is a storm raging inside.

And I would still give anything to be with you, to see you smile, and to make you laugh,
Because all I want to do is wear your ring, bear your children, and be your other half.
