Scratch Your Itch   (written 3/99)

I long to tell you

My heart’s fighting to flight

In most basic situations

I don’t know my left from my right

I patiently wait for you

Till the mixed signs mesh

I just want to see you

No more and no less

Stand here and I’ll make believe

Pretend my dreams are transcended into view

Don’t look away

Find some other reason to prolong my stay

I hope I don’t overstep my bounds

And find the cheetah running when he hears a loud sound

Don’t think it’s pleasant, life’s a bitch

When you wanna love someone but you also wanna scratch that itch

You wanna scratch your itch

Why don’t you scratch your itch?

Within the subtle transactions

Don’t look at me that way

I usually hear what I want to

Every word that you say

I find myself talking a lot

Talking, talking in this obvious tone

I think sometimes I can read your thoughts

But are they really only my own?

Chorus
