You don’t want me poking around
Where I shouldn’t be poking
Like you to think I’m just joking around
But you know I’m not joking
You mean too too much to me
In ways that seem surreal
I try like mad to shake myself loose
But I can’t un-feel what I feel
You don’t want to feel my heat
You don’t want me getting too near
You don’t me any way to Sunday
Gotcha loud and clear
You don’t hafta shout
Yeah I don’t wanna say that I love you
But it is always leaking out
And then every time I say that I love you
I can see you freaking out
I know I gotta let it all go
But then then I gotta wonder what I’ll be
Some guy with his hands in his pockets
Yearning for agape
This whole thing is pretty fucking twisted
In ways that I can’t unknot
I know should just cool down about it
And be thankful for what I got
But there’s a fire that won’t be extinguished
Because it’s fueled by a deep-seated need
And as long as that fire is burning
My spirit will never be freed
