Red Letter

Take her hand in my hand as we walk out the door
Hope nobody will see us as we left that floor.
Took my chances in letter after letter.
I thought maybe I could tell her everything that I felt.
How I played all the cards in the hands I was dealt.
Tell her all like it was in a letter.
I should tell her that I love her,
I need her tonight.
That the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes.
I want her. Oh. For my own.
I want her. All alone.
I should tell her that my mornings are the best when I wake,
See an angel with a smile gracefully on her face.
I want her. Oh. For my own.
I should tell her.
Take a minute for the moment.
I can barely begin.
It was even a perfect ending if only we could win.
Take my chances
And maybe make it better.
Please find my eyes, I can't find the words to explain all the things that need said for me to be sane. Tell it all like it was in a letter.
I should tell her that I love her, that I need her tonight, That the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes.
I want her. Oh. For my own.
I want her. All alone.
I should tell her that my mornings are the best when I wake,
See an angel with a smile gracefully on her face.
I want her. Oh. For my own.
I should tell her, but I can't.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. [repeated]
I'm not so sure that we should be.
I'm not so sure that it be left up to me.
I've been buried in these blankets for far too long.
Pick it all up ,uncover what went wrong.
But who's to say what I can say.
We all got something that won't go away.
It's not that I don't love you. I do love you, I should tell you but I can't.
I should tell her that I love her. I need her tonight. That the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes. I want her. Oh. For my own. I should tell her.
