Not Letting You Sweep Me
Glass Houses and Glass Beds
You're a delightful human this I can tell
You're the type to sweep a girl
Right off her feet
There is clearly a fire in you
One that draws me nearer
Yet I hope to listen to the winds this time
When they whisper to me
Patience dear one
I hope to hear them
Slow down wild one
This is something I can get swept up in
I do not have my ruby shoes
I don't know where I would land
I am not the one to break glass houses
Not with stones
Or sleeping
in glass beds
The attraction to you is magnetic
Not something to ignore
But when you let the magnets crash together
They may very well break
Let me walk beside you
As you navigate your stepping stones
And I shall navigate mine
Our creeks run side by side
The water never stops
It always finds a way
So if the current says it is
Then it is most certainly
What we should be doing
Slow down soldier
The war is not yet over
The storm has just begun
Do not fret
You are in good hands
The universe is a tricky woman
But she has us
She has us where she wants us
So go slow and see what happens
When two magnets can
Easily connect.
