Paperweight

It's not a new song, but it's new to me. I'm so happy to have recently discovered it.  So angelic, with lyrics so beautifully sweet, that I decided to put it up here. 

Makes me think of the days of young love; love so sweet, real, exciting, pure, innocent, honest, trusting, passionate. Invoking all 5 senses, loving like you've never been hurt. Taking risks without thinking twice about it. 

No, we're never too old to feel young love again. God, if only....  May it hit us like a ton of bricks, make us queasy with jittery nervousness, butterflies of excitement, and restless, sleepless nights.

To young love...

Lyrics:

Been up all night staring at you
Wondering what's on your mind
I've been this way with so many before but this feels like the first time

You want the sunrise to go back to bed
I want to make you laugh

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers
I'm waiting
Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

Happy to lay here
Just happy to be here
I'm happy to know you
Play me a song
Your newest one
Please leave your taste on my tongue

Paperweight on my back
Cover me like a blanket

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers
I'm waiting
Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

And no need to worry
That's wasting time
And no need to wonder what's been on my mind
It's you
It's you
It's you

Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

And I give up
I let you win
You win 'cause I'm not counting

You made it back to sleep again
Wonder what you're dreamin
