I Want to Be

I want to be that young girl from a few years ago
My long hair you flicked, my back you caressed
Who thought that you walked on the water's flow
Who wanted to be alone with you, get undressed
And let you see the beauty that I wear naked
To see the manhood that you kept so exposed
Who was naïve enough then not to be wicked
But to be a true lover and be open, not closed

With no expectations at all, just to be true
To all you were promising so that I could see
What true love was really meant to be through
Two lovers so destined, as were you and me
I'm corrupted now because impatient was I
This year I thought I'd just live it, let destiny fly
And now I'm collecting the pieces of my life
That flew through my fingers in trouble and strife

If not true to one's self, then what else is there
And who can be there for a person who isn't
I know that I'd do better if I could find where
I've hidden my heart to keep it from descent
Oh baby, if you knew the trouble I can cause
You'd hang me quickly, put a noose round my neck
Because I was walking some experimental floors
Blind, never thinking to keep myself in check
