Story Behind The Song
I started with the opening line: "I'm captured by your curves" meaning to turn this into a love song but the song turned around on me and led me in another direction. The lyrics flowed and were written in a couple of hours.
Song Description
A man madly in love with a woman that is seemingly indifferent to his affection. He's asking himself if she shares his feelings and though her actions indicate that she doesn't, he won't allow himself to face the truth.

Lyrics
I?m captured by your curves
Enamored with your smile
You?re a pleasure to observe
Oozing mega-style
And the way you fill those jeans
Well, it?s driving me insane
Darling when you look at me
Sends shudders through my knees
But girl you?re so aloof
You?re here but over there
I?m looking for some proof
Do you really care?
Do you think you?ll stay with me?
I can?t see it in your eyes
Am I going to be your home?
Or just a fleeting compromise
Locked in a cell of love
And girl you hold the key
Am I sentenced to the blues?
Or will you set me free
Will you give me my reprieve?
Free me from this lonely jail
Locked inside a one-way love
And only you can pay my bail
Should I just escape?
Flee into the night
Make my get-away
And get you out...my sight
Would you come chasing after me?
To try to make things right
Would you lose a minute?s sleep?
Or replace me by first light
I?m canceling my flight
Though my head tells me to go
Will my answer come tonight?
Do I really want to know?
