Hot of the press....
That won't do
I could say "you should fall for the guy dressed in blue.
He would cradle your heart, no hullabaloo.
He would send you the world in a beautiful phrase but these days, that won't do."
I could tell you his love would make fireworks fly,
that he'd capture the stars in the blink of an eye.
He would settle the seas, call your name on the breeze but these days, that won't do.
He waits for you to check your feelings,
his heart's still reeling.
He checks his compass for his bearing;
once so daring, once so true.
I could say "you should fall", I could pray that you'll swoon.
I could hang all my hopes on the chin of the moon.
I wait for you to check your feelings,
my heart's still reeling.
I check my compass for it's bearing;
once so daring, once so true
but I know, that won't do.
