lyrics

Yeah, confession ain't over
I just want you to be you, babe
Conquest, D. Steele on 'em, Mike Irish
I just want you to be you, babe

I probably loved you when you were 17 and I was 22
I chalked it up to infatuation though
Cause I didn’t know things about you I’m sure many knew
And still you were a landmark in Jason’s soul
You were sheltered, I felt it
Yet I melted every time I was around you, couldn’t help it
Wasn’t selfish when you joined the military, I’d accept it
And when I found you out you were married, I’d expect it
When I saw you in 09, looking so fine
Tackled by love I still had for you this whole time
Army of affection with it’s navy crossing seas
And skies like the air force with the corps of the Marines
Taken off ‘active duty’, placed on reserve
Respecting your marriage truly, my faith was deterred
But even then I had this feeling you belonged to me
But was my dreaming just deceiving, what was wrong with me

Yeah, and you're the finest thing I ever seen
You exist in real time instead of all my dreams
I just want you to be you, babe
And nowadays I don't have to dream
You went rogue for my heart, now you are the queen
I just want you to be you, babe
Yeah, and you're the finest thing I ever seen
You exist in real time instead of all my dreams
I just want you to be you, babe
And nowadays I don't have to dream
You went rogue for my heart, now you are the queen
I just want you to be you, babe

After a decade though, this feeling’s too prolonged to be
Just infatuation so when you weren't taken
I had you in my sights, here’s my shot, I had to pull it
With patience of a sniper and focus of an assassin’s bullet
Fired off, but I missed because you wasn’t ready
And by the time you were ready, I was going steady
Already thinking “You and I” was just a pipe dream
But now we’re single again, crazy as that might seem
I’m not losing you again, that’s my word
Two ships passing in the night? That’s absurd
So on that platform, you were game for my kissing
I was being radical trying to change your thinking
So I watch sci-fi with you over a glass of wine
Saying “I love you” is the perfect way to pass the time
I love that you insist we be a team
I love that you insist you be with me

Yeah, and you're the finest thing I ever seen
You exist in real time instead of all my dreams
I just want you to be you, babe
And nowadays I don't have to dream
You went rogue for my heart, now you are the queen
I just want you to be you, babe
Yeah, and you're the finest thing I ever seen
You exist in real time instead of all my dreams
I just want you to be you, babe
And nowadays I don't have to dream
You went rogue for my heart, now you are the queen
I just want you to be you, babe
