Time can pass so slowly when you feel so all alone
Love can strike like lightning when you find your heart a home
I've seen it in the movies, read about it in a book
I never thought I'd feel it but your touch was all it took
Love can strike when you least expect it. Are you ready for it when it shows up? You might try to check yourself and figure out whether this is real or not. You aren't really sure whether this is the right time to pursue anything or not, you're not sure whether this is what you need in your life right now. When someone comes along and demands that you make decisions before you are willing to commit, how do you cope with that? Do you search within the realms of your soul, your mind and heart and try to come up with 100 different reasons to not go down that pathway? Who should you be listening to anyway? How well can you trust yourself to not repeat the same mistakes from past relationships?
Take good care of my heart, take good care of my heart
Baby you're the first to take it, you're the only one who can break it
I love you more than I should, but it keeps me feelin' so good
I've waited for your love forever, you're the one to take good care of my heart
Who was the first person you allowed to take your heart? Were they the first ones who you allowed, unintentionally or not, to break it too? If you are stubborn and hate to lose, you never really give your heart away anyway. If you hate to show weakness and pride yourself on well, just being full of pride, then you don't put yourself anywhere near the vicinity of allowing someone to take your heart. You should never willingly give up your heart, or allow it to be taken if you have no intention of risking that it gets broken. I guess that's the risk that you take when you wear your heart on your sleeve. It just makes it easier for people to see that it's available and take it from you when you're not looking.
Come and make your magic til you have me hypnotized
If we get any closer I'll be drowning in your eyes
You're the one I needed most when my love was on that line
I'm so glad you gave me yours when I gave you mine
Do you allow physical chemistry to cloud your judgment? You might be hypnotised so much by where your senses take you and forget to think about the logistics and reality of it all. Granted this is what the heart struggles with your head to comprehend. You think about generating your happiness and then wonder if you choose to gamble it by taking a chance on something new and scary that you didn't plan on arriving on your doorstep. What did you do with the love that laid itself on your line? There needs to be mutual consent about what you do with each other's hearts. There also needs to be time and space to explore what could be, and what will come if you are both serious about taking things to the next step. I guess only time will tell.
Take good care of my heart, take good care of my heart
Baby you're the first to take it, you're the only one who can break it
I love you more than I should, but it keeps me feelin' so good
I've waited for your love forever, you're the one to take good care of my heart
I hope that you do love more than you should. There is no finite quantity to the amount of love you should have. Keep it flowing out of you, keep it flowing towards you. Our lives are so short. We think we have all the time in the world, but we do not have control over things or people as much as we think we do. We barely have control over ourselves. Sometimes you can't help what you feel, but that's part of the chance that you need to take when it comes to matters of the heart. So what can you really do? Rather than waiting for that forever love, just take the plunge, drown in someone's eyes and have the courage to tell them to 'take good care of my heart'. . . .
