Been working on this lately. Haven’t played it on my acoustic yet, gonna do it now, and figure out the horn parts from there. It’s a long song…

“My Weakness is You”

Lying in bed, doubt in my head
Bruised at the show- I’m feeling quite dead
I’m getting quite older, can’t you see?
Can’t hang like I used to, and it’s gotten to me

Seeing you again, it made my heart leap
I feel like you- you’re a girl I should keep
The reason I came wasn’t just for the bands
I came for you, wanted to hold your hand

But I lost you in the crowd
I put myself to shame
I want to have you now
This ain’t time for fun and games
These are real feelings for you
So inspired and so true
Since I’ve known your name
Things will never be the same
Things will never be the same

Tempest causes conflict in my brain
Temptation causes me to go insane
Wanting to know how you feel about me
For my sails- are you the breeze?

Feelings that will never cool
Tantalized by infatuation with you
I’m getting quite older, can’t you see?
Can’t hang like I used to, and it’s gotten to me

But I lost you in the crowd
I put myself to shame
I want to have you now
This ain’t time for fun and games
These are real feelings for you
So inspired and so true
Since I’ve known your name
Things will never be the same
Things will never be the same

If I could tell you how I feel tonight,
Would it make everything be just right?
I’m craving the feeling of your fingertips,
Your lips, your zip in the swing of your hips
I’m having another damn sleepless night
My mind wasn’t able to put up a fight
Against the fear of showing my own frailty
You must know by now- my weakness is you

Dancing with you, that was the plan
Pushed to the side, I don’t know if I can
I’m getting quite older, can’t you see?
Can’t hang like I used to, and it’s gotten to me

I want your hands in mine as we kick across the sea
Of the sweat and the people on their little circle spree
We could pit, we could skank, pretend it’s just you and I
We could even hold each other once the sweat on us has dried
I want to take you away to show you the place
Where I keep my sensibilities locked away
Beneath this shied and dry face lies a heart burning like the sun
Pining to have you by the time this day is done

[Horn solo]

But I lost you in the crowd

So inspired and so true
Since I’ve known your name
Things will never be the same
Things will never be the same

If I could tell you how I feel tonight,
Would it make everything be just right?
I’m craving the feeling of your fingertips,
Your lips, your zip in the swing of your hips
I’m having another damn sleepless night
My mind wasn’t able to put up a fight
Against the fear of showing my own frailty
You must know by now- my weakness is you
