about

a young fool at the beach, lost in fantasy, coming to understand, eventually...

lyrics

Please forgive me, for my obsession with you,
My life turned inside out, what a shock.
I just want to love you, from now til eternity,
If you don't return the favor, that's all right, see you later.

I walked into your orbit, without noticing, felt good.
Experienced you as an equal, spinning like me, very fast.
I just want to know you, better and better,
I'm complete unto myself, see you later.

Maybe I'm a magician, conjuring phantoms out of the mist,
You felt pretty solid to me, but look out, here's the twist,
I took that magician's head off, what was real, I don't know,
Guess I'm asking you for feedback, in good time, I am sure.

Excuse me for being so forward, but I can't help myself,
One chance in a million to take my heart down off the shelf,
I just want to love you from now til eternity,
Yes, I'm a romantic fool, that's alright, I'll see you later.

Now I'm a different person, than who I thought I was,
I can't ask you for anything; perhaps I have nothing to give,
Feeling deep within me, a shift I can't explain,
I like myself better and better, see you later.

What I lack in finesse, I make up for in guts,
Yes, I can be a control freak, holding on to what I think I need,
I just want to know you, better and better, guess I'm seeing through myself,
That's the story, see you later.

Maybe I'm a magician, conjuring phantoms out of the mist,
You felt pretty solid to me, but look out, here's the twist,
I took that magician's head off, what was real, I don't know,
Guess I'm asking you for feedback, in good time, I am sure.

I opened a door for you, you opened one for me.
We walked through together, now our lives are intertwined.
Infinity is so finite, it's all inside of me,
I'm happy to be your friend, blessed be.
