I can’t put my guitar down

It’s you reading my mind somehow

I can’t get out of bed at all

Safe in my room

I won’t run into you alone

‘Less you show up at my door

That I left open for you

And you climb my stairs

While my dreams come true

See me there

And I’m singing the blues

Tell me you can tell

I’m using you, using you

Using you as a muse

Stranger crossing like a star

In my bedroom from afar

My dreams hinge on never coming true

And that’s okay because that’s something

You would never do

And besides that would be just like

What I’ve already been through

Too much a risk for us to choose

So for now

I’m using you, using you as a muse

So for now, I’m using you, using you

As a muse

And you're this close to ruining all my songs

They can’t take much more

Cliche waxing sentimental

Gut wrenching elemental

Writing ‘bout wanting you at all

Give me something tangible

Show up at my door

Tell me you can tell

I’m using you, using you

Using you as a muse

I’m using you, using you

Using you as a muse

I'm alone most nights

Only three miles from you

Watch out for deer

If you come to me

I tied a cherry stem

In a knot with my tongue

While taking off my bra

Without taking off my t-shirt 

Why don’t you ask if I’d come with you?

With you

Why don’t you ask if I’d come with you?

With you

Did you know that I used to be an escort?

Did you know that I used to be a dancer too? Ooh

Did you know that out of those two things

Only one is true?

I tied a cherry stem

In a knot with my tongue

While taking off my bra

Without taking off my t-shirt

On VHS in 1999

He did all the strings on that

While taking off my bra

Without taking off my t-shirt

Why don’t you ask if I’d come with you?

With you

Why don’t you ask if I’d come with you?

With you

Did you know that I used to be an escort?

Did you know that I used to be a dancer too? Ooh

Did you know that out of those two things

Only one is true?

Did you know that it’s okay for you to love me?

Did you know you’re one of many men who do?

Did you know that you got me out of dancing?

Did you know you got me out of my bedroom?

I tied a cherry stem

In a knot with my tongue

While taking off my bra

Without taking off my t-shirt 

God forbid we ever

See ourselves together

In a mirror

That would be something else

Wouldn’t it?

The place in the glass

Where our eyes met

Somewhere beneath the surface

The place in the glass

Where our eyes met

A place where we can be alone

God forgive me

I just asked him if he saw

The moon last night

That was something else

Wasn’t it?

The place in the sky

Where our eyes met

Somewhere beneath the surface

The place in the sky

Where our eyes met

A place where we can be alone

God forbid we ever

See ourselves together

In a mirror

That would be something else

Wouldn’t it?

I’m a crescent moon always

Above her head kind of girl

In bed

You’re a chop wood carry water

Kind of man

It’s easy to build a dream

That’s already true

That’s always been

We need more of you on this planet

And you too

That’s nothing new

But you know what is?

I only need you

Yeah, the world needs more of you

We do

But I only need you

Yeah, the world needs more of you

We do

But I only need you

I only, I only need you

I only, I only need you

I only, I only need you

I only need you

I’m alone most nights only

Three miles from you

Just a girl in bed

You’re a do watch out for deer

Kind of man

I’m a wish upon a star

Your dreams come true kind of girl

For you

You’re a thoughtful, caring, humble

Kind of man for me

It’s easy to build a dream

That’s already true

That’s always been

We need more of you on this planet

And you too

That’s nothing new

But you know what is?

I only need you

Yeah, the world needs more of you

We do

But I only need you

Yeah, the world needs more of you

We do

But I only need you

I only, I only need you

I only, I only need you

I only, I only need you

I only need you

I’m a crescent moon always

Above her head kind of girl

In bed

You’re a chop wood carry water

Kind of man
