I said 'I wanna be the Xanax to your panic attacks'
She said 'I wanna push my palms into the pain in your back'
And I know we only met in a nightclub but I'm sure she's the one.
It's just the way that both her feet could fit in one of my shoes
And her scent reminds me of the sting of past love improved
With my hand on the small of her back I hope this moment never, ever ends
Forget each other's less than glimmering past
You can humour my affections with that beautiful laugh
And I'll never let you down, I swear (No)
My fingers run through hair and then they do it again
I think by now you know I intend that we be more than friends
I'm not closing the curtains 'cause I'm tired I just think that
It is time that I said to you:
'I've got a burning desire to light your fire tonight
And I know that if you let me inside I'll make you more than alright
My intentions are far from the purest but I know you don't mind
I can see the myriad of situations running fast past your eyes'
I don't know where this is coming from
But I know if my life would end tonight I'd rather be inside your tight embrace to keep me warm
So hold me now
She was counting up the list of the past lovers she's had
And I offered up my help cause she had run out of hands
Substituting love and self-respect with attention gained from one-night affairs.
I never said that I was perfect I've just got my ideals
I think that modern girls too often use themselves as the wheels
Of a rickshaw selling rides through the town to anyone with a pulse
But you you're not the same though you disguise it so well
You're dignified, your skirt is tight, you've got no secrets to tell
And the list of positive things about you could just keep going on and on
So you just take the weight off while I pour out the wine
We'll forget the world outside, in bed just killing some time
As you reach for my hand, pull it round your waist and tell me you love me I will swear to you that:
'I've got a burning desire to light your fire tonight
And I know that if you let me inside I'll make you more than alright
My intentions are far from the purest but I know you don't mind
I can see the myriad of situations running fast past your eyes'
