First comes the kiss

Then comes the hands too hot to touch

Feeling like this

I want to be with you so much

Driving to work in the morning

Everyone's house looks warm inside

I can't believe what I'm thinking

I've got to be out of my mind



When you give me a cactus flower

I figure you're telling me how it is

We make love, it's a cosmic shower

And I ask you, are we friends too



I talk to my sister about it all

To see what she did when she was here

She tells me don't give up your freedom

Which goes to show freedom is not so clear

I'm alive in my center

And true to the core is (in) how I feel

(And) I don't believe I have entered

The place she says where (when) nothing's real



You give me a heart shaped box

I give you a crackerjack ring

You say here I come ready or not

And I say I'd do anything for you



I call up my old friends to tell them

Any excuse to say your name

Finally I'm touched and I'm open

Fear and elation now feel the same

More and more often

I wave off friends to stay alone

The life of the party is nothing

Compared to the mystery that waits at home



When you give me a brown care bear

I give you a miniature moving van

When you tell me that brown bear cares

I say yes we can, yes we can



( Every move you never made

Every word you could not say

Every cry you cried alone

Can remain with us instead.

There's a bird for every sky

And a fish for every sea

And everything that's in between

Is where it is

Is what it is
