Analysis of "To He"
His voice is rich like liquor, it makes her sway
She is in love and so is he but neither will admit
Words of sweet like the sea, flow so naturally
She wishes so hard that maybe they will make it
Things that she so badly wishes she could say
Only in her heart and only in her mind can it be
He says this love is real, but she may never know
To say this is the truth yet only to be a mistake of youth
