Till I Met You [song lyric]
Till I met you
I never wanted to fulfil
a woman’s every dream
to want to find solutions to
her every whim and scheme
Till I met you
I never thought that I could be
in someone’s company
and never want to be unhooked
and never to be free
Till I met you
I never talked on telephones
for timeless hours of woo
or till the battery faded out
whichever first came through
Till I met you
I never wished that I could be
forever by a side
I never wished my lover said
“when I become your bride”
Till I met you
I never had orgasmic waves
just looking in some eyes
or barely touching fingertips
(I swear I almost died)
[I will miss those timeless rides
to the moon and back again
Dazed that everything could die
With a dread dash from my pen]
Till I met you
I never thought that time would stand
as still as silent leaves
I never had a Golden Box
upon which hung two keys
Till I met you
I never saw a smile which burned
its way into my soul
while laughingly ensuring that
I never would grow old
Till I met you
I never thought that I would bring
an idyll to an end
but Ice Queen frolic freezer types
I’ll never comprehend
