Spark

Oh Well you told me from the start
That you got a problem with your heart
But these rose-colored glasses
Do wonders when there’s a spark
I thought I’d be the one to make you want to change your life
make you want to take a wife
I could be your Joan of Arc, it’s enough for me if there’s a spark

Yeah well you took me out to dine
Maybe I had too much wine
But I never felt so desired
Boys who squire, just keep me tired
I saw you looking at my shoulders bare
And I didn’t care that you have no hair
I could be your Joan of Arc, it’s enough for me if there’s a spark

But then the days go by, start to wonder why
I’m the one making the calls
Asking you to stay, maybe come away with me
Open the door to a world that is wide and then
Close it before I step in
Turns out, it was just a lark
And I’m nothing to you but a spark

Well I’m trying to start to see
All the reasons you weren’t right for me
But then just like that, feelings rushing back
Burn my heart with memory
I thought you were like me searching for a way to be
Less alone all the days of your life
Was it in my head, should I not have said, or planned, or held or hoped
Took it by the wheel, but none of it was real
I just wanted you ‘cause you made me feel I was Joan of Arc
Rose-colored glasses do wonders to a spark
