There's something telling me to hold back
I'm not sure why, your smile is really
Such a pleasure to see
I guess I'm keeping my distance
Don't want to misunderstand
You may not feel the same
Connection with me

I've been wrong, but I've been loving a lot
And I expect to do a whole lot more.
I've been busted
But I believe I can trust it
If I give it up and follow the flow

You've got the sign of the sweetness
Upon your brow
I see the mantle of the muse in your eye
And there's a warm rain falling
In my valley tonight
And I could swear you know the reason why

I've been scared
I've pushed some people away
I wanted some kind of a guarantee
I've got a good mind to leave it open to you
And that's the best way to be open to me

So you can take me for a lover
Or a wide-eyed fool
I may be just the kind that you can use
And if you want me for a friend
Well that's what I had in mind
That's the kind of lovin' I like to do.

I've been fingered by the long arm of love
I'd like to do a little time with you
If I've been readin' you right
I know we speak the same language
Will you tell me if I'm comin' through
Please, won't you tell me if I'm comin' through
