She said meet me in the park before dark
I've got something to tell you
About you
After midnight where the wild things roam
I said Safari's not my scene
I'm not keen
But then again I could be wrong
Soon it was raining cats and dogs
We were prancing in the fog of it
All spinning out of control
We shared every last drop
As live ammunition rung out
From the clouds above
Full of rhythm
Not lead
Soaked feet slipped in the glades and the grooves
Underneath the deluge
'Til all we could do was stop
And be swept downriver
In a current of exuberance we found
Around the bend before the plunge
She turned to me and said
To love someone
To love
To love someone
To love
To love someone
Is the easiest thing in the world
At the end of the longest day
I'm exhausted
Eyelids droopy
In her company draped anxiously
So I said sweetie I think you
Fell ass-backward into my heart
Now my better nature is forward
You're about to see
And from the plummeting of my chest
She knew what happens yet
Lethargy kept me in bed
Though she staged a Harlem Shake yet again
And made me stay up
Somewhere before our dreams convalesced
She sang me the song of her people
Not to birds but to mammals
After the lights were out
And from the anticipation of what's to come
She knew what happens yet
To love someone
To love
To love someone
To love
To love someone
The deepest thing in the world
To want unspoilt
To lust
To take your best
To trust
To want unspoilt
Is the easiest thing in the world
To love someone
To lust
To take your best
To trust
To love someone
The deepest thing in the world
To love someone
Someone
So when I take my first breath in this verdant life
Oh
Yeah
Will there be someone by my side?
