lyrics

I could simply treat you sweetly,
Or I could offer something else discreetly.
I've seen enough to know your game,
And there’s no reason to feel any shame.
Initially you might be scared.
It's natural when you're first ensnared.
You'll find it doesn't spell your death,
Only a quickening of your breath.

You can let go, your heart won't explode.
But you may feel a tingling inside.
You're safe here my dear.
If fear reappears, just look in my eyes.
You don't have to hide.
You don't have to hide.

I'll open up the door to walk through,
But entering is up to you.
It may entice you to embrace a change,
By exploring something somewhat strange.
The pain you feel will be replaced
By a smile of pleasure on your face.
The line between the two is thin,
So my love, shall we begin?

You can let go, your heart won't explode.
But you may feel a tingling inside.
You're safe here my dear.
If fear reappears, just look in my eyes.
You don't have to hide.
You don't have to hide.

Not only did I enjoy the lyrics from the very first listen, it also caused me to reflect not only on the lyrics but what I was feeling. There are these brilliant moments without lyrics which provide a space for deep contemplation. It had been a bit since a song hit me as this one did. yodaleiaheehoo
