The Lights

Damn these lights.

Shining so bright

That all you see are the parts I hate

And the ones I consider mistakes

My imperfections keep me from impressing you.

Keep me from undressing you.

Make me feel like avoiding you.

Make me like a lesser dude.

Don’t look at my face

And see the visage of a loner

A stoner, who longs to be more

Than just the good guy next door

Don’t judge me based on what you see

Cause that’s not the part of me

That I want you to know

It’s not what I wanted to show

Turn the lights off baby girl,

You don’t need to see me

You don’t need to judge me

You just need to feel me

You and me

Just need to feel each other

As we undress one another

Secrets will come uncovered

You’ll understand me by the time we’re done

You’ll see that I’m much different from the rest

And while I’m not necessarily the best

I promise I’m not much less

Just please, turn the lights off

And feel me for one second

I can feel you second-guessing

But I promise you won’t regret this

Understand where I’m trying to take you

And that everything I say is true.

I can make love to you and I can love you

You don’t have to choose.

Just turn the lights off.
