you were in my dream last night
the foggy light a silver sheen
you lifted up
your amber glass
said I’ll confess to everything

beyond your eyes i saw a look
i’ve only seen it once before
you did enough,
i dare not ask
i lay my heart out on the floor

“it’s best to be direct in love,” you said
with just a hint of fear
i memorized the whole exchange
i have to say i want you here

i have to say i need your strength
i have to say i hold you dear
not half the way i used to shrink
i’ve chosen now to persevere

so take your time, and take this down:
life has been strange, but i‘ve got you now
as long as you want me, i will be around

will you still feel the same in a year or ten?
tell me, what will you think of my actions then?
i wish i could express the canard in my chest
it’s so hard to convey
but so hard to repress

and i can only dream of days
where things have changed,
we’re rearranged
you’re hesitant to share with me
but that’s okay, i feel the same

“it’s best to be direct in love,” you said
with just a hint of fear
i know what you were asking me
i have to say i want you here
