What Do You Want From Me
A song, a rhyme… just to spend a little time.
I always wonder what you want from me.
Perhaps an act to show I care,
a word, a touch, a longing stare.
Oh, what I’d give to know what it could be.
Should I sing til I can’t sing no more?
Come crawling back up to your door,
bringing gifts, whatever I can buy?
Maybe you simply need to hear,
“I love you” whispered in your ear…
were it that easy surely, I would try.
But by judging what I know of you,
a simple fix will never do.
No, something more is always called at hand.
Like - help you swing from every star,
or be as perfect as you are,
that’s where it sits from what I understand.
But trying to pin it down just so
is like trying to pin a wave, you know…
upon the sand like sung in that old song.
And just like them I’ve not a clue
what the hell I’m supposed to do.
So, on I go… as you lead me along.
