The Chase

by Helene   Jun 24, 2009


I wanted to tell you,
I tried to hold back,
Don't you know you're irresistible?
And how could I ever, ever refuse you,
When you dance like you couldn't care less.
I'd ravage the planet for your confirmation,
But I'm deadly afraid just to ask,
No matter what you give me, I want it once more,
And I feel like I'm making a mess.

It's a chase for attention
But only from you,
So tell me that you're going
crazy here too,
If I give you too much,
it might not be fun,
But I don't have the courage
To risk it and run.

I wanna hold you in my basement forever,
But I feel like that might be
A bit out of line?
I just don't wanna lose your attention,
And I don't know what else I could do
To make you mine.

In time I'm just not that intriguing,
And I pray that you don't figure out,
And you'll meet someone else who's
Mysterious then,
And my fall will be painful and loud.
So I really should just hold you hostage,
In a way it's a charming show of affection,
I'm just not quite sure it'll hold up in court,
They don't feel for my point of reflection.

I just hate that it's still like a chase,
If I show you too much,
Are you still gonna want me,
I was never that good at the game,
I'm a fool,
And a loser to be.
