a nail
words and music by jake bouma

love, can't you see 
the grin gracing me
as i turn to see your face
bathing in the light of the sunset
oh yeah
perfetcly illuminated
made for me
drives me crazy
i reach up and brush the skin
flecked with cinnamon
it's porcelain
and in my reflection
is found the story
of a young man walking with his feet off the ground

i just want to take you home
and stay for a while
i just want to hold your head
and kiss your smile

love, don't you know
that if you just let go
it will fall right into place
flyin up so high in the heavens
oh yeah
making memories
with only you and me
let's be lazy
i'd hang them on the wall
and never let them fall
i'd save them all
until that nail is ripped out of the wall
and our love comes crashing down

i just want to take you home
and stay for a while
i just want to hold your head
and kiss your smile

i don't want to be with anybody else
i want you all to myself

i just want to take you home
and stay for a while
i just want to hold your head
and kiss your smile
