So let's take your baby blanket
Throw it round your neck just like a cape
Dispel the fear and get over this in a single rebound
Shuffle round the dusty hardwood floors
Stirring up the sediment and old feelings
Slamming into doorways at the speed of the sound
Of your laughter after a poorly timed kiss
Disintegrates and leaves no room for doubt
That I, don't want to go back or live without
You, don't want to let me down...
But you're straddling the fence
Weighing out the consequence
Of telling me that you're not ready
It's too soon to start working on new wounds
And if this all seems familiar
The tradeoffs are similar
I won't go back to being just another shoulder
Soaking up tears and darker thoughts
When you're sleeping next to me
Spilling your guts about how he hurt you
Just think about how hard I stifled
The need to hold your cheek in my hand
Slowly turn it towards me
And delve into the unknown
The soft feel of your lips
The sense of confusion and elation
The struggle not to hesitate
In an audience of stuffed animals and scrapbooks
Graduation tassels and birthday cards
You place your hand square on my chest
Slip it underneath my shirt and soon we're in a tangle
No remorse and the gut reaction
That it may not be the best decision
But it sure as hell beats being let down
So let's take your flowered comforter
Pull it up so you're not embarrassed
And chuckle at the flashing red numbers
The alarm clock says it's almost 3
I don't want to close my eyes
And you certainly don't want to acknowledge
This could change everything
This could be the very moment we wish to forget
Or are we over thinking
