If you were mine, I would, Memorize every freckle on your body, Like words in a book, I can't put down... Let my fingertips dance along your spine, Bless you with Eskimo kisses while you sleep. Erase every painful memory, that resides in your heart, I would spend me last penny, To fly you to Rome just because you said you would like to go there someday. Let you peel back my layers, Like an onion that will never make you cry. Let you use my toothbrush to brush your teeth. Be a wheel that will never stop spinning for you. But you are not mine, So for now, I will keep chasing you, Kissing the soles of your shoes. You make my blood pump thru my veins You make me want to get out of bed in the morning You make me tie this rope around my throat And kick the chair out from beneath me, Rejoice as my flame for you slowly dies, As the life slowly drips out of me, Like hot wax falling from a candle That was the flame I once I held for you... |
