What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage you stir.
Cut a wire from above.
The kinds of things that you will hear
will resemble a bottle of wine fermented too long.
My mouth is dry, my head's in the sky.
My stomach's starting to dance.
Oh,
before I die,
I have to try.
I have to take this chance.
Oh, there's a risk that you'd go away.
We'd lose the friendship we're enjoying right now.
But there might also be regret if we throw
away the more than friendship we'd be missing
somehow.
So I was thinking maybe later you would want to go out.
We could walk around the oval as usual,
asking what life is about.
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we
spent together touched my life to the core.
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you and I want to love you more.
Tell me how to get to you.
Tell me,
tell me,
tell me,
tell me,
tell me what you want me to do.
Cause if you're listening and thinking,
is this song about me?
And
though you are a work of art,
I'm captivated by the things that you do.
Though I'm jealous of the man who tried to win your heart,
my goal is that he'd envy me too.
So I was thinking maybe later you would want to go out.
We could walk and talk and travel,
read and watch and figure out what life is about.
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we
spent together proved our friendship true.
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you.
Maybe it's time that you knew.
I know for certain that I love you.
And I know you love me too.
I know you love me too.
I know you love me too.
Ba da ba,
ba da ba.
