An Afternoon Dance Party
I was craving for having you the very minute when I first kissed you
And right then I forgot to be shy
And in the letter that you wrote for me you mentioned you had somebody
When you met me but you didn't name the guy
And you needed to see clearly if life was really going from him to me
And if it was the right time for you
I took you by the arm and told you there is no time
And waiting is a stupid thing to do
And if rushing scares you I'm afraid that we wouldn't feel the same
And I would let you go before you dump my ass
And in the meantime in the living room
My room mate was having an afternoon dance party with a girl from Texas
You yelled at them from the bed with words I didn't understand
And I took it as if you were crazy
He was playing sort of quiet but loud enough to feel the beat
A song Beyonce had sung for JayZ
I wondered if I could love you I wondered if I could be true to you
I wondered if you could make me better
And in the silence you caused and as naked you were raising your hand
To reach my yellow sweater
I knew that I could trust you and I knew that I could hold you
And that you know Portuguese and that it is fun
The door slammed like a gunshot and the Austin girl took off
With my room mate for a walk in the sun
Let me smell your hair and take you by the hand
And I swear I won't be lame or treat you bad
And if I can't put a name or a face on the man
You were living with I know that he's sad
And you tell me there is really nothing that I should try to learn
About you that I don't already know
It was cold in my room as the planets and the comets were starting to glow
