Love on the Spectrum

You look at me and I look at you
Neither understand what is at hand
I see envy in the grass, you see blue

“Break a leg” sends panic to your eyes
You complain, I explain, luck on stage
Your truth is cruel, you cannot lie

I’m at death’s door, you walk out, don’t care
At least that’s the way it seemed that day
You sat quiet for weeks, you were scared

Your brain is wired differently than mine
I’ve started to see, it’s not just me
I feel life for us is so unkind

Your talent in music is so great
You write the songs, then sing along
Shared the secret with me, Love you , Babe

Kisses, not like any fire I’ve known
I tell the truth, sparks that could melt boots
Explodes my heart like an inferno

Took a while to figure it all out
You are now a man, in a strange land
Trying to make sense of all that’s about

I started to leave but now I stay
Sometimes a fisted glove, mostly love
Keeps me standing by your side today
