In the Meantime - Somewhere Between
In The Meantime (Somewhere Between)
You are somewhere between Politically Correct, And nothing at all
If it weren’t for the fact that we work together, my existence stalls
But I am thankful that I got to meet you
Cause you’re an angel, sweet and true
Can you understand, I’m a lucky man, to have met you at all
I know I’m not, what you’re looking for
I know I’m not, what you think you need
I know I’m not, what you’re waiting for
But in the meantime, can I be your friend
When you walk in the room, I am so aware, of your every move
I hope that today, you will talk to me, But you rarely do
I hope I haven’t made things awkward
Or made you feel ill at ease
I wish that I could find the words, the nerve, to talk to you
I know I’m not, what you’re looking for
I know I’m not, what you think you need
I know I’m not, what you’re waiting for
But in the meantime, can I be your friend
I am somewhere between, insecure, And full depression
D I V O R C E was just the start, of my recession
I’m aware of my insecurities
Money, and love, anxiety
But I see you as the one to save me, from affliction
I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the one to save you
I want to be the one that, you can trust
I want to fall in love; I want to fall in love
~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
I don’t want to be just a friend to you: I don’t want to be just a lover
I don’t want to be just a fool for you; but I won’t just settle for another
I don’t want to be just a friend to you; I know we could be better than that
But if you can’t see, what you mean to me; I’ll be the best friend you’ve got
I could be the best friend you’ve got
We are somewhere between, loneliness, and complication
If only we could find, some common ground, to take this
I’m not asking for, your hand in marriage
I’m not asking for, a one-night stand
All I want, is a chance to chance it
Cause I believe, that we could make it
Come on, Marguerite
Take a chance on me, Take a chance on me, Take a chance on me
I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the one to save you
I want to be the one that, you can trust
I want to fall in love; I want to fall in love
I know I’m not, what you’re looking for
I know I’m not, what you think you need
I know I’m not, what you’re looking for
I know I’m not, what you think you need
I know I’m not, what you’re wait… ing… for
But in the meantime
I hope we fall… In… Love
