Hug
I got something to say, you know I think I really must
I want an untimed, untamed, full body hug that can just
Take back my regrets, melt down those miles and years,
The friction can fuse my blues and wrap up the laughter and tears,
And it feels like something that for so long,
you wanted, but could not put your finger on
Like when you cannot clear your head of a song
Yes, that first kiss, how that taste can linger on
That kind of hug, magical formation of a bond
You can try so hard, and it might never come along
You can‘t describe it to your friends, can’t explain just how it felt
But when you wrap your arms around her, all your worries start to melt
And it feels like something that for so long,
you wanted, but could not put your finger on
Like when you cannot clear your head of a song
Yes, that first kiss, how that taste can linger on
Here’s fair warning, come the sunny day when next we meet
I am going to lift you off the ground, baby you can swing your feet
Hold you so tight, create some spontaneous combustion
Melt the blues away, let the rivers of joy come rushing
And it feels like something that for so long,
you wanted, but could not put your finger on
Like when you cannot clear your head of a song
Yes, that first kiss, how that taste can linger on
