Was it just a coincidence   As soon as I dropped my defense   You came walking in through my front door?   Could it have been insistence   That divided all the distance   Between what our eyes had to hide?      Behind closed doors   My hand held in yours   There was only one thing I could do      I started counting   Your heartbeats,   One at a time,   The sound was so sweet.   If I could sail   Behind your eyes,   In the middle of the night,   Then I would open them up   So once again you could penetrate my insides.      Could I have been so confident   To offer you this compliment   If it was something that I did not feel?   Now there burns a single flame   One I hope that will remain   As we jump from happy page to page.      Could I count your heartbeats again   One at a time   Until I comprehend?   If I could sail   Behind those eyes,   In the middle of the night,   Then I would open them up   So once again you could penetrate my insides.
