Anticipation

Words and music ©2012 Joe Milligan

 

You send texts to my telephone

They come late at night

From a place where you live alone

Or as you say, live out of sight

 

You live out of sight

You live out of sight

You know baby

You...  you intrigue me so.

 

You’re like the first school girl I fell for

When I was young and love was new

She’d say to me, this lack of touch

It's drawing me closer to you

Closer to you

 

I’m drawing closer to you

I’m drawing closer to you

Oh you know I’m older now

I’m less scared

But I’m more confused

 

Anticipation of romance

You say could be love’s best part

Before reality, it rushes in

Before disappointment starts

 

And you said, let anticipation

Let anticipation

Oh let it touch our bodies

Let it watch over our hearts

 

And you said, let anticipation

Let anticipation

Oh, let it be enough

'Til we mend our broken hearts...
