Your mind is open to those who hear

Your voice rings out without any fear

And I really like that about you

Yet your heart is hidden and pensive

And that speaks the same for me

And I really like that too

Yet I know you won't make this easy for me

And I understand that (I do)

So I will lay this out for you

These promises I make right now

to give you room to let me in, a little at a time

and I'll not be over dramatic or too serious either

to be a friend when a friend is needed

and a man when a man is needed

I will let my actions be my words when we are close

And my words be my admiration when we are far apart

If you will open up a little to me

I will listen like almost no one can

For though we carry on a charade it seems

My heart dances here for you

My thoughts always return to your beauty and smile

And I prepare for the day we will embrace

Oh yes – I promise to pull you near to me

And explain my heart with these lips
