needing love

I once thought of love as a prison, a place I did not want to be.
I just wanted to be a simple man, like the bird be free.

Then you came and I was so tempted to gamble on love just one time.
So if loving you is wrong then I am guilty of the crime.

I waited in the weeds, waiting for my time to shine.
Giving you a chance to get through your difficult time.

I waited in the dust too long and did not try enough.
As the peacocks proudly began to strut their stuff.

But I believe in second chances and I believe in angels too.
I believe in new romances; most important I believe in you.

I've been here before and I know you are avoiding me.
Someday you will see how hard I tried and how much you mean to me.

But I am not waiting on tomorrow and I do not know wrong from right.
But I would give anything to be in your arms tonight.

So in one final attempt to make you understand.
I come before you with my heart in my hand.

We need some time in the country, some time to slow down.
A bottle of wine, a walk in the moonlight, and some fooling around.

But your friends and my friends just seem to get in the way.
So if this is the reason then I can no longer stay.

I need someone to turn my live around; someone to set me straight.
I want that to be you but I can not even ask you on a date.

I can not take my eyes off of you; I dream of you all night.
I can not talk to you even though I try with all of my might.

I came here for two reasons for my pride to regain.
I let them slip through my fingers now I must suffer the pain.

We have never been together but it has been torn all apart.
So I ask of you what do I do with my heart?

I want to run away and hide; but yet I want to stay.
And fight for your love; for this and this alone I pray.
