Half as Much
You caught my glance and you quickly construed
Given half a chance that I'd always be true
If you gave me a rope then for you I would lasso the moon
But for all my acts of valor and daring
It's just no use in even comparing
To feelings I get at the moment you come into view
You don't need me half as much as I need you
Lord knows, you don't need me half as much as I need you
Well I brought some notes and you gave me a tune
And I planted seeds but they never did bloom
Til the day that you came and you bathed them in light that you shoot
It's a mystery how you do what you do
Making two from one and a handful from two
You're a Christmas morning, a stocking that's forever full
You don't need me half as much as I need you
Lord knows, you don't need me half as much as I need you
Well you passed my way and you left me tossing in your wake
Now I got this thirst, but that don't mean I want it slaked
Cause my heart may hurt, but I like the way you make it ache
