love in a box

it's easy to see how everything is loosely

put into a box to describe how

well it is working

but can you tell me

how did she knock me off of my feet

when she said hello

my name is beautiful

i said excuse me miss but it's time for me to hit the floor

and now this dancing has turned to falling

words can't do justice to this girl i know

and it's those deep breaths that get me through the times

she's standing next to me

she's nothing short of lovely

does she notice that i can't breathe

everything around me is getting hazy

i'll loosen up my tie

no use in being shy

so take one petal at a time

and toss it to the ground

closer now

i'll touch your lips to mine

and feel how we have to hold our breath

to make sure we don't miss one moment tonight

under this moonlight

i can see the mystery behind your eyes

with every taste girl

well i delight in you

and yet this distance

that separates my hand from yours

can only make me appreciate your heart

i adore you

so take one petal at a time

and toss it to the ground

closer now

i'll touch your lips to mine

and feel how we have to hold our breath

to make sure we don't miss one moment tonight

quiet now

she's fast asleep

and to my arm she's clinging

you're mine girl

and my heart is yours

so take one petal at a time

and toss it to the ground

closer now

i'll touch your lips to mine

and feel how we have to hold our breath

to make sure we don't miss one moment tonight
