Been So Long

It's hard to say
How this came to be
Lying here with you
So close to me
Caught up in your arms
Tangled in your sheets
Lying so close
I can feel you breath
And I don't know how you did it
But you really caught my eye
No I don't know how you did it
Once bitten twice shy
you woke me up
brought me back to life
led me out
into the sunlight
been so long since my heart crossed my mind
now I'm knocking at your door
scene of the crime
I'm pulling you out
into the moonlight
been so long since my heart crossed my mind
I open up
Like never before
When I'm in your arms
Behind closed doors
I'm as free as air
High as a kite
Never felt so real
Never felt so right
And I don't know how you did it
But you really healed my pain
No I don't know how you did it
Lit a fire in my veins
you woke me up
brought me back to life
led me out
into the sunlight
been so long since my heart crossed my mind
now I'm knocking at your door
scene of the crime
I'm pulling you out
into the moonlight
been so long since my heart crossed my mind
Falling, falling, falling for you
you woke me up
brought me back to life
led me out
into the sunlight
been so long since my heart crossed my mind
now I'm knocking at your door
scene of the crime
I'm pulling you out
into the moonlight
been so long since my heart crossed my mind
It's hard to say
How this came to be
Lying here with you
So close to me

Kiss Me Like You Mean It

Do you remember the first time you told me you loved me
In that little motel room with the walls painted green
The words came tumbling out on a sigh
We were both so moved we started to cry
But now you're always at work though our needs we more than meet
And I'm scared of how easy it would be for someone new to
Sweep me off my lonely feet
Carry me away to easy street
don't tell me you're too busy
you don't have time for this
just make a long arm
pull me in for a kiss
I'm not asking for a fancy dinner
at a candle lit table for two
just kiss me like you mean it
until I know for sure you do
When you're not working you're golfing or gaming
The list is long and I keep on hoping and praying
You'll come home before the sun sets in the sky
Take me by the hand look me in the eye
don't tell me you're too busy
you don't have time for this
just make a long arm
pull me in for a kiss
I'm not asking for a fancy dinner
at a candle lit table for two
just kiss me like you mean it
until I know for sure you do
If our love is a thing of the future
Not a thing of the past
Kiss me like you mean it
Kiss me 'til I believe it
don't tell me you're too busy
you don't have time for this
just make a long arm
pull me in for a kiss
I'm not asking for a fancy dinner
at a candle lit table for two
just kiss me like you mean it
until I know for sure it's true
kiss me like you mean it
until I know for sure you do
