There’s a syndrome in the system
And it’s talking about you
There’s a buzz in the listenin’
Sayin’ what we should do
You know they’ve got their hooks in you
I’m wonderin’ what you plan to do?
Because it’s one thing to say what you want
And another thing to do it
One thing to designate
Another thing to prove it
Now I’m not askin’ for bright lights and flashing signals
These have surely already been given
What I’m asking for is for you to be careful
And you can hide your intentions from me all day long
Just as long as we’re on the level
Because the last thing I want
Is for you to lose yourself
Whether to me, to others, or to the world
Yeah, I want you – oh yeah
Can’t hide that fact, anymore
But I don’t want another martyr in you
I want you to come alive
Fired and brand new
Yeah – it’s gonna be messy
And at times we’re both gonna be testy
I really don’t know how to blend our worlds
And I certainly can’t see – from here – a clear view
That’s why I’m asking you
Come be with me
Come talk with me
Freely, openly
About what you’re hoping will be
Surely, if nothing else
We can trust each other
Whether we’re only gonna be friends
Or maybe lovers
I hope to God you’re not on your own out there
And that you have friends you can count on
I wanna add my spark to you
I want us to have a Love Brand New
And if I’m not the one
Hey – I’m sorry I got it wrong
But I coulda sworn you used the words I’d sent to you
And where we are now
Is something of worth, too
Regardless of how we got here
