about

Infatuated, trying to impress someone with my turn of phrase, it fell on deaf ears. I imagined falling in love, again, knowing the risk.

lyrics

I could just surrender
Like I never have before
Maybe I’ll surrender
Let love through the door
I’ve cleared the steps, I’ve swept the path
I’ve played it in my mind
I won’t waste my pretty words
On a stony heart this time

Wasted all my pretty words
All so finely tuned
They seem to flow so easily
When they’re about you

Falling to the thrall of you
How tempting to let go
Glide into your slipstream
Outside the ebb and flow
We could fall so easily
Blinded by romance
Under the swelling tide of love
We’re swept into the dance

Wasted all my pretty words
All so finely tuned
They seem to flow so easily
When I’m around you

Everything I know and love
And all that I have learned
The give and take, the push and pull
Never enough returned
I could choose the harder path
Drag my heart up to the shore
And soak it in the shallows
So I could love some more

Wasted all my pretty words
Gave them away for free
They all flow so easily
When they’re not about me
