Drowning

Death came to me late at night, and I don't know why

But his face reminded me that some believe in love at first sight

He says, "Many say dating's a hell,

But I can see it's not going well for you -

I have an offer, if I could have a moment of your time"

He says "You could come with me, I've built a cabin by the sea

I heard you say how much you love the ocean

I'm asking for your life

So please don't take this lightly

But I have to know whether you could love me"

So I said "You'll never know what it's like to have to choose between love and freedom

The request you've made is much the same as men have always done

It's a loss of life either way

Sounds like you're more of the same

At this point, I don't think I want love at all"

His tone changed then, his voice got low

As he spoke to me, deceptively gentle and slow

"I understand what you mean

These things have no rhyme or reason

Baby I would love a yes, but I'd accept a no

And if it's freedom you're worried about, how does total anonymity sound?

Free from expectation, you can be yourself

Your whole life I've watched you grow

I'm the only one who can know

And love the woman you are when you're alone

I've built this face just for your eyes, and not to mention

Without ulterior motives, would I even be your type?"

Oh, is it sane of me to think I've met my match?
