Until he holds me close

I just want to call him baby

He kisses me occasionally

I’ve been extra fragile lately

But I would gladly let him break me

I can’t wait around much longer

‘Cause hangin on won’t make me stronger

But if I let go I’d be fallin

And on the ground I’d still be crawlin

My daydreams

Like visions from a movie scene

But nothing real is happening

Until he holds me close

I wonder why he won’t let go

As the evening’s windin down

And all the lights inside are out

And it’s just us inside our house

There’s still so much to talk about

But I just wanna kiss his mouth

And turn his bluejeans inside out

I just wanna love him now

But I don’t think he’ll stick around

He’s changing

Like colors on a movie screen

I feel there is an ending

Until he holds me close

I wonder why he won’t let go

A shot at his heart is a shot in the dark

So I’ll light some matches and hope there’s a spark

He pulls all my soft puzzle pieces apart

And sends me so carelessly back to the start

I just want to call him baby

He kisses me occasionally

I’ve been extra fragile lately

But I would gladly let him break me
