You're first in finding ways to steer a conversation from the part
Where you and I profess our souls
A verse of Purple Rain conceals the empty space within your heart
But soon I'll have to know
'Cause you found me so easy
Love's war but you're my peace
Just say you heard me 'cause I can't prove
I've had a million ways to see your ghost
A million ways to hear those words
But none I love the most
With hazel cheeks, how can it be?
The tears have drawn a name below my feet
They say you'd swear to me
And tell me I'm your key to every sleepless dream
Say the words, I'm waiting at the seams
A crooked nature bait, the distance was the flame within the hearth
I bowed a knee before you showed
A fear of growing pains that colored all the days we were apart
And now I have to know
'Cause you fought me so freely
How strange, you caught my feelings?
Say you love me, 'cause I can't prove
I've had a million ways to see your ghost
A million ways to hear those words
But none I love the most
With hazel cheeks, how can it be?
The tears have drawn a name below my feet
They say you'd swear to me
And tell me I'm your key to every sleepless dream
Say the words, I'm waiting at the seams
'Cause you saved me from feeling
My youth was wasted stealing
Looks and praises, misleadings
These golden days are reeling
In your lips and slow breathing
These hazel cheeks are screaming
For your kiss and a bed for two
To prove to you
I've had a million ways to see your ghost
A million ways to hear those words
But none I love the most
With hazel cheeks, how can it be?
The tears have drawn a name below my feet
They say you'd swear to me
And tell me I'm your key to every sleepless dream
Say the words, I'm waiting at the seams
