Linger, Let It

i want you to let this linger…
let it dance a while in your mind
(then i will pose the questions)
what am i supposed to do with
something i thought i'd never find

what am i supposed to do
when it gets all racy and real
it’s hard enough to think straight
how do i know what to feel

how am i supposed to act
when my insides turn to dust
this is next [FUCKING HYPHEN]level spiritual cool
this is so much more than lust

how am i supposed to carry on
like nothing in my life has changed
tripping over my own silly grin
caught between marvel and strange

how am i supposed to know
that you may be feeling it too
all this nervous excited energy
all centred around me and you

what am i supposed to do
when you know she knows she knows
splash her with the garden hose
help her outa those wet clothes?

 what am i supposed to be
after tasting the pure and true
what will happen when i finally
tell you –
how much i love you

how am i supposed to feel
like everything's going my way
how do i hold that girl close and tight
and then get to hold her every single day?

For Z and D

For Z and D!
