lyrics

Do you think that I don't see the way you look at me
And do you really not see me looking back
I can feel your jumping heart when it's beside me
And you can feel my eyes burn when you're walking past

You say I warm you like the sun does in late winter
I wonder what took so long and where you've been
You talk like a mid-July storm that's just about to roll in
And when I hear that thunder call I pray for the rain to hit my skin

But it don't have to be love for now
If you need to take it easy, that's something I think I can allow
It don't have to be said and done
Just give me all you've got and promise I'm the only one

You joke that someday I'll be the one you marry
While I pretend that I'm the girl in all your songs
I guess that some great things require patience
But you've been holding out on me for far too long

But it don't have to be love for now
If you need to take it easy, that's something I think I can allow
It don't have to be said and done
Just give me all you've got and promise I'm the only one

But it don't have to be love for now
If you need to take it easy, that's something I think I can allow
It don't have to be said and done
Just give me all you've got and promise I'm the only one
