“Keep Coming Back To You”

 ”Keep Coming Back To You”

February 23, 2012

 

You’re starting to drive

Me crazy out of my mind

I was daring you to come alive

Come see what my world is about

But you didn’t want to take that route

So I had to leave you behind

 

I spent so long

Trying to feel okay

Desperately searching for someone

To make me feel the same way

So far, there have been none

But I wonder, if maybe someday

 

Whenever you fall

Or have a need

I know I’ll get a call

And every time I’ll loyally concede

But when things go right

There’s a good chance

I won’t find you in sight

Despite how I plead

Part of me can’t help

But wish you’d surprise me one night

 

I’m happy to help you to your feet

But remember my emotions aren’t a toy

I have to give part of my heart away

To let you have the comfort you want to enjoy

So please don’t leave my heart out in the street

After you’ve decided that you’re now okay

And feeling more than complete

 

I want to think you just don’t show

Your affliction because it’s new

Or because you somehow think I already know

But I need to hear and feel

Everything more than once

To be sure my emotions are actually real

 

So many times I’ve been mislead

Keeping my distance

Because the attraction is all in my head

And then you go on daring me to let you in

Finally there’s no more I can take

I give-up, that’s it! You win

But you are like a memory I can’t shake

Of something that’s never been
