No Misdemeanors

For all my thinking
For all my ceaseless obsessional thoughts
No cure for confusion
No solid summary

I thought about leaving
For all my peaceful demeanor, I fought
The only conclusion
Was... what you mean to me
So...

So I'm gonna give my heart to you
Baby, be gentle
No misdemeanors

How could I be whole and hurt by you?
Baby, be gentle
No misdemeanors

No reckless endangerment

While you were sleeping
And so still in the dark of your thoughts
I saw you were bleeding

You whispered softly to me:

"Girl you're my weakness
My distilled, irrepressible force
A holy intrusion

Please listen carefully

So I'm gonna give my heart to you
Baby, be gentle
No misdemeanors

How could I be whole and hurt by you?
Baby, be gentle
No misdemeanors

No reckless endangerment"

No fooled by the filters
No frown full of fillers
I rhyme with the fellas
Style full acapellas
Unregrettable
No, I wouldn't mind a best-seller
As long as y'all let me be a fine storyteller

My preoccupation, more than ever
Is space in my heaven that could never be taken
Gifts in the midst of the moment we're given
Breaks the foundation and forgives the misgivings

No, I'm not done singing
Not until I'm all done with the feeling
The alternative is much less appealing
The superlative, I guess, would be healing

See? The urge was never a demon
See? There's no church in the Garden of Eden
Perdition aside for the sake of the sweetness
Weakens the chains and
My love for you
Deepens
