Story Behind The Song

I had a crush on someone I worked with who took me on a fantastic date. He was a very off-beat guy who was very mysterious in a way, the kind of person no one could pin down. So I wrote about him, and how I was totally taken by his charm.

Song Description

Thoughts on a guy I had a crush on.

Lyrics

You reinvent respectable romance while you?re drinking a beer in my living room
I don?t expect you to call in a day or two
Just read me a book while I fall asleep and I?ll forget everything

I?m mesmerized from a distance at your mystery and indifference
And wonder if anyone could capture you
And hold you down
And kiss you like I would

You?ve mastered the art of understatement when you try to communicate
I don?t care as long as you?re sleeping here
This couch has become my limousine and you show me everything

You sanctify unbearable moments with a touch of your hand and a cup of tea
I don?t pretend to understand
But I laugh at your inane sarcasm, admire your boyish charm

Just kiss my eyes and say goodnight
I?ll make coffee in the morning
Just kiss my eyes and say goodbye
