Reasons To Be Your Man

If the height of arrogance Is overconfidence You'll never worry about that with me Because I'm as humble as they come My name is Christopher I'm a 27 year old man Who indulges a poetic vice Writing whatever he feels And let's not get it twisted I've got numerous flaws My right eye isn't straight I've got some extra fat I get emotional when I watch sad stuff Or lose dear friends And I'm quiet to a fault A shy man with social anxiety Whose greatest revelation is poetry Because it allows me to say how I feel When I'd otherwise be at a loss for words But there are many reasons For me to be your man I'm neither self-righteous Nor judgemental I'm neither self-centered Nor condescending I'm a gentle spirit Riding the wave of life My heart is full of love Just waiting to be yours My mind is full of thoughts Just waiting to be shared My soul is full of wisdom From 27 years of life I often sell myself short Because I'm afraid I won't fit the bill But as twilight descends on my youth I'm hoping I can find someone To spend these cold April nights with Give me a chance And you'll discover your own reasons I should be your man I'll cook your dinner with finesse And be your 3AM ear I'll give you foot massages after a hard day I'll be your biggest fan Behind only your parents Our love will light the city on fire And paint over dingy walls And neither of us will be perfect But in imperfection The greatest perfection is found Because we both know how hard love can be And how much pain a broken heart is But if we take our broken hearts And tape them together It'll be like they were never broken All I ask is for one chance And you to believe these reasons For me to be your man
