Shawn

You were hanging with my brother, we were only fifteen

Just a boy in the doorway, stepping into the scene

I felt a quiet spark, but we never took the chance

Just a couple of kids in a sideways dance

We both felt the pull, but we never crossed the line

Leaving all of those unspoken wishes behind

Shawn, I'm still getting lost in your eyes of blue

After all of this time, my heart points to you

Tall with broad shoulders and a beautiful smile

I've been holding these feelings inside for a while

You are so important to me, I need you to know

I'm ready to see where this story can go

Now we're fifty-four, and the decades have passed

We finally started talking, trying to make it last

I know we're both scared of what happens next

Reading between the lines of every late-night text

But I don't want to run from what's real anymore

When the man that I want is right at my door

Shawn, I'm still getting lost in your eyes of blue

After all of this time, my heart points to you

Tall with broad shoulders and a beautiful smile

I've been holding these feelings inside for a while

You are so important to me, I need you to know

I'm ready to see where this story can go

It's terrifying opening a heart that's been closed

But the depth of my love is much more than you know

Let's drop the defenses we built in our youth

And finally surrender to the beautiful truth

Oh Shawn, I'm still getting lost in your eyes of blue

After all of this time, my heart points to you

Tall with broad shoulders and a beautiful smile

I've been holding these feelings inside for a while

You are so important to me, I'm laying it bare

We've waited a lifetime, let's finally go there
