I wish I was a flame
dancing in a candle
Lighting up your living room
High on a mantle
I could bring some romance
Without any scandal
And then when you were done
You'd just put me out
I wish I was a tune
you sang in your kitchen
putting your groceries away and washing your dishes
I could float around your tongue
and ease the tension
and then when you were done you'd just quiet down
But if I get too close
Will the magic fade?
Would I turn you off, or away?
If I pull you in
Would I push you out?
Was something here
you care about?
I'm at a loss
for what to do
I'm drawn to you
I wish I was a sweater
wrapped around your hips
and when it got too cold
into me you'd slip
and when the sun came back
you would hang me up
and I would watch you
while you undress
I'm not a song
I'm not a sweater
I'm not a fire
I'm something better
I'm a man in love
Writing you letters
Will you take it?
Will you keep it?
Will you read it, believe it?
