In Love

[William Shatner, (Ben Folds)]



I remember

The night we met

That night we sat

Entwined

Under summer skies

I looked into your eyes

And

You looked into mine



You said

(Oleander holly)

"You're not like the rest"

And I nodded

(Crimson feet of Collie)

"No one understands me"

You said

And I nodded once again

(Beautiful and lovely)

As if to agree that all men are indeed the same

(My baby)

Somehow, you said

(The only one)

I was different



(Who really understands me

Floating hand in hand we

Whisper in the moonlight

And say that I'm

The things you want to see)



(Kody and her star child)

For months on end

I maintained

(Goddess of the moonlight)

A veneer of sincere interest

(Hold me in the morning)

As if I were listening

As you relived every page

(And tell me I'm)

Of self-help and new age

(The only one alive)

That you'd read

And

(Who really understands you)

I went in for the kill

I'd read the same books

(Tell me pretty stories)

I learned to ape the motions

Of a sensitive human being

(Say you understand me)

And we were oh, so happy

(My baby)

But you found things to fix

(The things you want to see)

And I knew it was time

To move on

(But I could never be

In love

In love)



So now you have me

Completely figured out

You feel sorry for me

I can't express my feelings

I can't tell the truth

We are all alike

At puberty, I was sworn to secrecy

By the international brotherhood

Of lying, fickle males

I can't tell you anything

And I can't commit

You're right

I can't commit

To you



(Hold me in the morning)

I will always treasure

Our time together

(Tell me pretty stories)

I don't feel enough of anything

To harbor the kind of disdain

(Say that you're the only one)

That you'll maintain

You painted me into what you

(My baby)

Wanted to see

That's fine

(But I could never be)

But you will never know me

(In love

In love)



(Oleander holly

Crimson feet of Collie

Beautiful and lovely

My baby

The only one

Who really understands me)
