From two provinces away, your dark eyes stop me in my tracks
They bring me to my knees, they see through all my cracks;
The echo of your voice haunts me every night in my sleep
And I hope you don't know that at night, I pretend you're mine to keep.
You leave me breathless and you take me by surprise,
You leave me in a constant state of awe that may be my demise...
You say that you're cold, but I have to say that I disagree
I think that under the surface, barely contained, lies a fire of a thousand degrees.
You ensnared me in your web, you weren't even trying
And if I pretended otherwise, we both know I'd be lying...
So I might as well admit it right now: I've never been this drunk on lust
Never wanted a man this way, so badly that I might spontaneously combust.
And I don't know if you could ever feel the same way,
But if you can't, I understand, and that's okay...
I just need you to understand how amazing you really are;
How flawless, in spite - and because - of each and every scar.
And maybe it would ruin the friendship, but I'd love to see where this thing goes --
Bet something winds up on the floor: either my heart or our clothes...
So if you ever want to take a chance, to try me on for size,
I'll be here, waiting, still lost in your fathomless brown eyes.
