Pretty Dragon

I liked your silly dances and how 80s music brought out the best of you

You taught me how to use chopsticks and my little couch was our home that night

Stadium seating for our blockbuster movie and the sushi was just right that night

 

I liked your silly faces and the way the TV reflected in your eyes

We told stories and I liked the way your knee touched mine

Then that look in your eye and your breath against my neck was too much for me that night

 

You showed me your smile,

It’s enchanting but it makes me quiver

You showed me your eyes,

So big and bright yet so deep and dark

And then you showed me my choices,

And I wanted to stay but I made excuses to get out of there that night

 

Because you breathe fire

Your scales are too sharp

And your skin is too pointy

You're a pretty dragon

But you're still a dragon

And I didn't think it's going to work out for us that night

 

From my stained glass window I see you smoking your cigarette

Church bells echoing in my head while you stand there

The street light illuminating you just right and it's all too much for me tonight

 

Your dark cave is scary and I wonder if I should have stayed

I have a feeling that this is all wrong but I'm tired of this boring life

I want to unpack my destruction, a fiasco for all to see

 

I can take your dragon breath

Work my way around your big fangs

If you can handle my shivering

I want to ride your back

To do the things we're both thinking

To take us places we've never seen

 

What if I let you take me?

Would you desecrate me?

Would it cost me my soul?

You're a pretty dragon

But still a dragon

And I wonder if it could work out for us tonight
