You know I could go to sleep with your name on my lips,
sweet whispers conjuring your image in my sleep,
trying to make my last thought you so that
those dreams will come...
and they do.
They come 'cause in reality,
there is no chance
that i will ever have you.
You say you don't know me,
like all the time we have spent together
has been a mystery...
Well, now that i've got my nose wide open for you
I'm unwelcome, like the thrill was better as a secret
between the two of us,
like we knew but we didn't want the other one to know...
And still, we flirt like there is no tomorrow
And though you laugh when I want to
come to your crib, I must take the words
of Musiq to heart, "...you ain't even gotta be my girlfriend..."
In this life, but not yet fulfilled,
I'm hoping you're the one
who has the key to this new virginity...
are you ready (am I?) to set me free
or shall I remain, UNFINISHED?
