Story Behind The Song
A brave and playful proposition of love between potential lovers who both come to the table with walk-in closets of emotional baggage. (Don?t we all?) It takes courage not to walk away from love, and strength and self-awareness to open yourself up to relationship when you know neither of you have your shit together yet.
Song Description
A playful proposition of love, relationship, sex, to a potential mate. Musically sounds like Mazzy Star or Paula Cole.

Lyrics
V1
I?m sorry to hear that / The woman before me
Was some kinda psycho / That?s not my problemo
I too had a lover / Who left me with luggage
But I?m trying to travel / A little bit lighter
B-sect 1
So would you just please pretend / That I?m not your mother or your ex-girlfriend?
CHORUS
We?re alone in this world / We mourn everyday
We?re longing for love / Yet we still run away
We?re alone in this world / Let?s not be afraid
Here, come take my hand / Let?s try to be brave
V2
I?m fully aware that / I?m pushing your buttons
But I swear that I do this / With nothin? but lovin?
Feel free to debate me / But I know what you?re thinking
We?re made for each other / One way or another
B-sect 2
So could we just please relax ? / Forget all the obstacles in our path!
Repeat Chorus
V3
I?m tired of waiting / Anticipating
What it would be like / The first time we get naked
Here?s the bottom line, love / I?m wanting you real bad
Forget your neuroses / Come sit on my lap
B-sect 3
?Cuz if you were to relent / I might take a chance again and surrender
But more likely than not, my friend / We?ll go home once more, alone and frustrated
Repeat Chorus
