This Shouldn’t Be Uncommon

… but it is.

It may be the way you look when I make you laugh,

Or the way you hold the end of a kiss, for a second, and a half.

It might be the way you fall asleep in my arms at night,

Or wherever we go, I always happen to be in your sight.

It could quite possibly be the way you fight falling for me,

Or when what you try to hide, I see.

But for now, I’ll let it be and stick my feelings on a shelf,

Because baby, you make me not want to do bad all by myself.
