I keep searching for a smile suddenly in a bar
Pour me a drink with a twist of lime and salt
To forget about the path by the back door
I know I haven't been a saint but I can fix it, babe
I swear none of this was a mistake, because
When love sets sail, the kids fall in love
And if I want to dance, all night long
Who’s gonna give me their emotions?
Who’s gonna ask me to never leave them?
I’m dying to kiss you, to lose myself in your mouth
I had so much to give you, so many things
That’s why I waited with my face all wet
For you to show up with roses
I’m dying to meet you, to know what you think
I want your presence, to have you by my side
Give me back the life you took from me
I want to step into your place in my sneakers
Walking through life, no rush but no pause
This is me, scared yet determined
Praying Hail Mary, when will you be mine?
There’s only one candle lit in the middle of the cake
Not a single word, no kisses or glances
From the slit in your skirt, I had a run-in with a Seat Panda
Pretty, pretty, everything seems pretty to me
But I don’t want your lips shared
Tell me what I can do, how can I have you?
If you want, I’ll send you poems, in my own handwriting
Little sailor, you met a mermaid
You chose the prettiest and the least good
I’m dying to kiss you, to lose myself in your mouth
I had so much to give you, so many things
That’s why I waited with my face all wet
For you to show up with roses
I’m dying to meet you, to know what you think
I want your presence, to have you by my side
Give me back the life you took from me
Stop her, she’s a liar
I’m wearing a black shirt and you’re gonna drive me crazy
No one makes coffee like you do, but
I will survive
When you go, I’m coming from there
How do you expect me to love you if you’re not here?
It’s me, I’m telling you
And I can’t live without you, no way
I’m dying to kiss you, to lose myself in your mouth
I had so much to give you, so many things
That’s why I waited with my face all wet
For you to show up with roses
