I Don’t Know | Tessa

I don’t know, where this will go
I can’t see, how it’s going to be
But I know, I’ve given you, me

I don’t know, the length of my stay
But I do know, I want it this way
I can’t ask what I want from you,
I just crave to get some of you

This see-saw is wild, crazy and free
We’ve built up a trust
For something that can’t be

It’s strange and it’s odd
I think of you everyday
Wishing, somehow, there was a way
To be together more often
But that would our hearts soften
Into a prohibited place

I dream of a world, made of leisure and lace
Passion and pleasure, and ample space
To do and be whatever we feel
We know in the moment, the feeling
is real

As much as its wrong, it’s terribly enticing
It makes my life fun, sexy, exciting

It’s easy to say ‘let’s let it go’
But so far we’ve not been able to do so
A dangerous place we now stand in
Torn between right and wrong, weak or strong
Values used to be black and white
But there’s a grey we’ve created
And it’s not understated
It’s deep and wild and hard to control
Hard to let go, easy to hold

Inhibitions lost, can they be found?
I don’t think I can turn this around

I can honestly say, it’s time to face the truth
The truth is, I’ve fallen for you…
