I want to wrap myself up in your arms

I want to wrap myself up in your arms
and I want you to want me there
If maybe that scares you
At least, run your fingers through my hair?

I can’t wait to follow you off stage
I won’t wait for you to call
I wish I could feel like I knew all your thoughts
Instead of knowing nothing at all.

And maybe I just got paranoid
Or maybe I’ve gone round the bend
I said it before and I’ll say it once more
You know I’d just do it again.

Since for once I believed
No strings attached
Could work, could keep us safe from attack.
But people want to know everything, don’t they?
Now there’s no going back.

that first stanza caught me-
the wishing in this poem is amazing.
