Follow this feeling

Em C

I didn't mean to scare you 

Dm Em

in the middle of the night

I only wanted to hold you

I hope it wasn't wrong

But the street lamp through the curtains

shining softly on your skin

Made my feelings for your different 

to how they’ve sometimes been

I didn't mean to touch you 

in the middle of the night

I only wanted to hold you

I hope it wasn't wrong

But the closeness of your breathing

I could feel it on your skin

Made my feelings for you tranquil

Which isn’t always how they’ve been

I really meant to kiss you 

as the sun shone in the room

I only wanted to show you

My hope isn’t wrong

And the stillness of your sleeping 

and the nearness of your lips

Made my feelings for you mellow

So much change from what they’ve been

I really want to wake you

as the sun burns through this day

I really want to show you

My hope isn’t wrong

And the waning of the sunshine

As it moves to shade your skin

Make my feelings for you stronger

Than what they’ve sometimes been
