I cannot carry a tune

but I can write you words

that sing on my tongue

 

I cannot dance

but in the bedroom

I can make you sway my way

 

come close

take my hand

let me show you

what I can

 

I cannot shower you with jewels

but I’ll immerse you

in a love so true

 

I cannot promise you the world

but look into my eyes

together we’ll reach the skies

 

come close

take my hand

let me show you

what I can

 

come closer

feel my words

let me fill

your every void

 

I cannot lie

I may not live

up to it at all

I can only be me

 

but come closer

let’s give it a go

you and me

 

come closer

let me

let me show you

what I can

and can’t be
