He made it a point to mention there might have been a bitter aftertaste left behind A place closed off to anyone else because of the past before Maybe boundaries I shouldn't cross simply because I know myself better than anyone ever could Or more than anyone would ever care to try It still wouldn't stop me, but then I mentioned how there was 'nothing to lose' And it was shot down more quickly than I expected Though I never would have guessed the same thoughts had crossed his mind So I pushed them aside "I'm not going to be the one to fall" Followed with a smile, because I didn't believe it for a single second His voice was intriguing, mysterious, in a seductive coated tone He left me wanting more, without even being close enough to be considered 'leaving' I can't say he consumed my mind by this point, but it would be a lie to say I never thought about it Never thought about the way he would make me feel, so pleasurable And still for all I know, this could be the man I was meant to avoid But knowing what I know, or what I think I know, maybe just what I want to know I'm always left craving just a little more each time Thinking different thoughts every night And sometimes I even catch myself wishing that I was the one he was coming home to Emily Shives |

Never thought about the way he would make me feel, so pleasurable And still for all I know, this could be the man I was meant to avoid But knowing what I know, or what I think I know, maybe just what I want to know I'm always left craving just a little more each time Thinking different thoughts every night And sometimes I even catch myself wishing that I was the one he was coming home to Wishes do come true sometimes Emily so keep hoping and I'm sure that things will turn out for the best in the long run.
