Matt Paull - Confession Lyrics

Your smile it is a lantern, on a cold and lonely night
Your laugh the sound of life's sweet music, uplifting clear and bright

The eyes they say (I believe it's true), are the windows to the soul
They reveal more than we might wish, this we cannot control

I am leaving now I pose no threat, no need to feel alarm
Remain composed consider, in equity and calm

I have a childish crush on you, something I can't explain
A feverish compulsion and obsession of the brain

My tongue gets tied and twisted whenever you are near
I feel a fool, transparent, my thoughts clouded not clear

You are slender lithe and beautiful, a woman in her prime
To leave my thoughts unsaid would truly be a crime

I long to get to know you, though I often sense defence
One day I feel your friendliness, the next a ten foot fence

Perhaps I'm not your type? Perhaps I'm just a fool?
I try to hide my longing by appearing calm and cool

To hold you in my arms, to keep you safe and warm
Is it wrong to think these things? To long for shelter from the storm?

So dismiss this strange confession, ignore me if you will
I will dream then of the first kiss, the pounding heart the thrill!
