What Now?
Uh-oh—it happened; kinda took us by surprise.
What are we going to do now? It was
Amazing—but we tasted the forbidden fruit, and
Now there’s hell to pay.
But if it was such a bad thing, then
Why did I let myself do it?
Well the truth is, because I wanted it,
And I know that, I think that,
I hope that you did, too.
I saw it—I know I saw it
There in your eyes. I saw it
In the way that you moved and
In the way that you looked at me.
If you did not want it to happen,
You didn’t have to be there.
You know as well as I know
That it takes two to tango, and
Both sides were dancing away.
Well, if you can
Put two and two together
You can see where this is going.
But remember, there was friendship first,
And we don’t want to lose that now.
We may forgive, but still we can’t forget
What happened, cause we both know it’s real.
And if I were two years older, then I
Wouldn’t be writing this right now.
Why do I always screw things up??
We ask ourselves over again. And we
Apologize away, trying to clear the guilt away, but
We know that in the end, that
We can’t wipe it out of our minds,
So for once, let’s think with our hearts.
We can’t deny that emotional high, so let’s
Listen to our souls like we should, cause
How can something be so bad, when it feels so good?
