Lists is about falling in love and
becoming compulsive and obsessive about another
person. "Falling in love" is an altered state of
mind, not unlike being drugged. It may be helpful
to ask ourselves if we are "growing in love" with
someone, which implies all of the difficult parts
of building a relationship that has emotional
safety, as well as caring and sexual intimacy.
Compulsive list-making can bring a loving
relationship to it’s knees. When we feel we
MUST follow a list and complete everything, we may
have lost sight of why the list was made in the
first place.
Lists
I had a list of things to do
But now my only list is you
And my list keeps getting longer
I hope we never make through
I want to laugh with you out loud
I want to meet you in a crowd
I want to buy you leather clothes
I want to hold you by your toes
I want to travel cross the country
Together on a Northern train
I want to sing with you in harmony
And run through pouring rain!
Do you feel me too? Are the shivers coming
through?
I want to make you room to grow
I want to share the stuff we know
I want to touch you when you're still
I want to roll you down a hill
I want to lather up your shoulders
Shampoo fingers through your hair
I want to gather up your worries
And throw them in the air!
Chorus: Do you fell me too? Are the
shivers coming through?
Do you feel me too? Am I coming through?
I want to hold you when you're sad
I want to show you Paris, France
I want to listen to your stomach
While you're teaching me to dance
I want to wade into your eyes
And I want to taste your tongue
I want to listen to you whisper
I want to kiss you when you come.
Chorus
