Lover Come Back
*note: this is a song*
At first sight, you were curious about me
You were unsure if I was sane or crazy
Some say that I am bold
Others just point and stare
I'm comfortable in my own skin and I'm adventurous
What you saw appealed to you
And you acted accordingly
We spoke the same language
I got the message loud and clear
No games, no hesitation
You started the conversation
After exchanging a few words, it was quite evident
That I was more interesting than I appeared to be
We talked about our careers
We talked about our interests
And the dreaded subject of family
We're navigating through this chaotic world
But we take the time to enjoy simple pleasures
As I'm sitting down right next to you
You firmly grab a hold of me and squeeze
The instant connection we formed
Didn't dissipate throughout the night
You wanted me to follow you after you left
I don't like to gossip
And when others do, I pay no attention
Let me go with you
You lit up a cigarette even knowing it's bad for your health
You said "I can stop. I can quit."
As you inserted another one in your mouth
You could have kissed me instead
Why didn't you?
We generated extreme heat on a humid night
I wish we had more time
To experience more of each other
Time is rarely on our side
At first glance, you were curious about me
Lover, come back
