[Verse 1:]
It’s not in my veins
To be playing games
But I could write a book—
Call it made-you-look
Leave it up to me:
Can I let it be
Like I know I should?
You remind me that I'm not in control
I'm out of control, man
You know I think that I’m better alone
But you’re keeping me open
And what I see in you is something they don’t
You already know that
I don’t mean to impose;
It’s only emotion
[Chorus:]
I’d bet my pride
That you are where my heart would rest
At home in another life
But in the meantime
I’ve left behind
Something that I can’t forget
It's surefire as a turning tide
Your fire is still burning bright
[Verse 2:]
You don’t like to chase—
You think it's a waste
But I really need
Men to take the lead
Way you made me care
Had me really scared;
It upset me
‘Cause you remind me that you’re running the show
You’re running my show, man
Is the timing why I’m sleeping alone
And losing my focus?
And what I love in you is something they don’t
Even notice
I just want you to know
It’s more than emotion
[Chorus:]
And I’d bet my pride
That you are where my heart would rest
At home in another life
But in the meantime
I’ve left behind
Something that I can’t forget
It's surefire as a turning tide
Your fire is still burning bright
[Outro:]
Where would I begin
If you let me in?
Color like a rouge
At the thought of you
We could hit the road
If you wanna go
Do you want to?
