your scent slips across my skin
like the gentle tread of snake skin on grass
it slithers down my spine
sending electricity like a lightning flash

looking for that little bit of fairytale love
I stumbled upon it walking out the door
on bended knee, you looked up at me
offering something I unknowingly wanted before

knowing what we have keeps me going on
knowing what you dream of keeps me strong
I'm walking in footsteps I cursed from birth
cause it's the only place I ever wanted to be
here with your arms around me

let me melt away my day onto your shoulder
cause it's all or nothing you know
I can't stop to think for fear I may not start again
the stars are dropping like cascades of snow

too many minds that all pretend the same
the careful architecture being appraised by uneducated eyes
contentment as expected was an art I never perfected
lack of sadness will be my own demise

knowing what we have keeps me going on
knowing what you dream of keeps me strong
I'm walking in footsteps I cursed from birth
cause it's the only place I never wanted to be
here with your arms around me

just close your eyes, lean into the night
and make sure it's a black screen I see
cause sometimes the movies, they play for me
rewind and fast forward every sad memory
every time we've kissed bleeds back into one
as we kiss again, away from the sun
knowing what we have keeps me going on
knowing what you dream of keeps me strong
I'm walking in footsteps I cursed from birth
cause it's the only place I never wanted to be
here with your arms around me
