I've got a promise that I gotta keep
And I can't host
The idea of you & me engaged in a kiss
It's too dangerous & would be a mess
Cause I can't, you see
Someone's in love with me
And I with he
So very deeply
But when things get so goddamn deep
One has the tendency to feel somewhat weak
And grasp for air & want to be free
Of the clenches of love which have a taste that is bittersweet
Cause I can't, you see
Someone's in love with me
And I with he
So very deeply
Wandering eyes can bring so much fault
Especially when they wander too far from their home
And meeting other wandering eyes
When all those are only just a fight
So would you care standing away from me
I don't want to be set free
I have realized now that everything is a compromise
And the grass is no greener on the other side
Cause I can't, you see
Someone's in love with me
And I with he
So very deeply
If there were an elixir
I'd find the mixture
And I'd make myself a pitcher
And I with he
Would you care not standing so close I've got a promise that I gotta keep And I can't host The idea of you & me engaged in a kiss It's too dangerous & would be a mess Cause I can't, you see Someone's in love with me And I with he So very deeply But when things get so goddamn deep One has the tendency to feel somewhat weak And grasp for air & want to be free Of the clenches of love which have a taste that is bittersweet Cause I can't, you see Someone's in love with me And I with he So very deeply Wandering eyes can bring so much fault Especially when they wander too far from their home And meeting other wandering eyes When all those are only just a fight So would you care standing away from me I don't want to be set free I have realized now that everything is a compromise And the grass is no greener on the other side Cause I can't, you see Someone's in love with me And I with he So very deeply If there were an elixir I'd find the mixture And I'd make myself a pitcher And I with he Explain Request ×
