People in Love

Looking at all the lonely people sitting at the tables
One by one staring at the sun
Looking at all the cute couples sitting at the tables
Two by two kissing over candles

Then I turned around and there you were
Like pins and needles waking my flesh
And now that I'm not dreaming anymore
What should I do with my outstretched hands
That never want to wave goodbye again

I would trade all my sharp knives of protection
To feel your arms wrapped around my waist
Sheltering me from fate's winds of misguided changes
That leave me standing under wistful skies waiting
Blindly hoping I won't fall on deaf ears of isolation

Oh I'm a woman in love a woman in love a woman in love
A woman always in love but too afraid to reach out
Beyond the air that surrounds me tries to drown me
Takes my breath away until I'm choking on truth
That leaves me sitting alone wishing I was brave
Like the people in love oh the beautiful people in love

Yeah we all just wanna be people in love with somebody
Even though it seems like nobody's in love with anybody

Looking at all the lonely people sitting at the tables
One by one staring at the sun
Looking at all the cute couples sitting at the tables
Two by two kissing over candles

Then I turned around and there you were
I looked into your smiling eyes I know love never dies
Just like truth living inbetween strangers never lies
Even though it seems a million years have passed on by
That's when I realized I was one of those people in love

Yeah one of those crazy people in love
With a beautiful man with a beautiful soul
Who hurls creativity from his fingertips
Across fretboards of life's misgivings
As people keep on going and keep on living

Oh I'm a woman in love a woman in love a woman in love
A woman always in love but too afraid to reach out
Beyond the air that surrounds me tries to drown me
Takes my breath away until I'm choking on truth
That leaves me sitting alone wishing I was brave
Like the people in love oh the beautiful people in love

Yeah we all just wanna be people in love with somebody
Even though it seems like nobody's in love with anybody

Looking at all the lonely people sitting at the tables
One by one staring at the sun
Looking at all the cute couples sitting at the tables
Two by two kissing over candles

Then I turned around and there you were
Just a few feet away performing on stage
You were so imperfectly perfect
With that sparkle in your eye
And beautiful smile upon your face

Yeah my knees grew weak under my heart
As the ground beneath my feet faltered
Betraying my sense and sensibilities
Underneath the surface where I'm messed up
Underneath the surface where only love sees

Oh I'm a woman in love a woman in love a woman in love
A woman always in love but too afraid to reach out
Beyond the air that surrounds me tries to drown me
Takes my breath away until I'm choking on truth
That leaves me sitting alone wishing I was brave
Like the people in love oh the beautiful people in love

Yeah we all just wanna be people in love with somebody
Even though it seems like nobody's in love with anybody

Looking at all the lonely people sitting at the tables
One by one staring at the sun
Looking at all the cute couples sitting at the tables
Two by two kissing over candles

Then I turned around and there you were
Slipping away quietly into another day
Guitar casually thrown across your back
Eyes steadily fixed on the road ahead
Thoughts wandering into the future unknown

I did see you earlier out of the corner of my eye
But my heart froze up into a ball of silence
When your hand tapped me out of oblivion
I pretended not to notice it was you
But how could I not when I'm so in love

Oh I'm a woman in love a woman in love a woman in love
A woman always in love but too afraid to reach out
Beyond the air that surrounds me tries to drown me
Takes my breath away until I'm choking on truth
That leaves me sitting alone wishing I was brave
Like the people in love oh the beautiful people in love

Yeah we all just wanna be people in love with somebody
Even though it seems like nobody's in love with anybody
