lyrics

I don't think i'm not the one,
just an explanation come undone,
of a lofty thought i must confide,
i wanna show you my love and make you mine,
i wanna show you my love and make you mine.

I can't promise you you'll be satisfied.
but we can't know if it works if we don't try,
so just think on it and then decide,
if i can show you my love and make you mine,
i wanna show you my love and make you mine.

Chorus
It's not like i am claiming all or nothing,
just take your time and claim that you feel something

It was the first time that i heard your voice,
or maybe just the way you showed your poise,
well no matter what it was i can't deny,
i wanna show you my love and make you mine,
i wanna show you my love and make you mine.

Chorus

I'm such a sucker for that accent now,
the way you shape your words and make those sounds,
it's so funny that a misspoken line,
will make me wanna show you my love and make you mine
i wanna show you my love and make you mine.

Chorus

Bridge,
Take courage man, before your heart goes broke,
there's a cord of smoldered wood that i must stoke,
lodged deeply under all my flesh and bone,
it's petrified so long it's turned to stone
it's petrified so long it's turned to stone.
