What It Can Be, What It Is (Captured Again)
Captured
Locked in a cell of rapture
Not the normal hell
But into a happy prison I fell
Willing to serve my time
For this euphoric crime
I’ve got to find peace of mind
I’ve got dreadfully to find
The source of this state of mind
Screams impossibility
We seem a great improbability
I feel there’s no me without her
I try so hard to forget about her
Takes too much energy
You evoke many a sweet memory
Your arms feel like they are forever holding me
Couldn’t care about physical attraction
Don’t need any sexual satisfaction
Prefer intellectual stimulation
Entwine ourselves in mental relations
You trust me despite myself
Feel safe with all my faults
Put aside all your wants
Put down the walls and fronts
Right now I hate myself
Can’t believe that you
Would want to have anything to do
With someone so insecure
A man so immature
But your resolve inspires me
To be much more than just me
Your honesty makes my desires pure
Felt like I’d lost my identity
But you gave new meaning to me
Touch my face with your hands
Feel my joy radiating through your palms
What must I say to you
How do I talk to you
I want to understand
Why you can’t let go of my hand
Why you need to hold me in a sweet embrace
Now we have to face
The temptations of our hearts
Just don’t keep me from your love
Don’t hold me behind
Because you have freed my mind
Anything is possible
Our love can be so possible
Let’s break the impossible
And make it beautiful
Let’s get lost in each other’s eyes
Give me a chance to win that prize
Every day can be another day
For me to try to say
How much you’ve made my day
How much I loved our yesterday
How much I love today
How much you’ll make me love tomorrow..
