Second Step (Brownstein, Amarante)

Is this a puzzle and am I a fitting piece? 

I’d like to compliment the flavors of the feast

Forgive me for the silliest of the silliest of cues

I’d like to spend my time with you

Is that a smile you’re hiding on your face?

Your love for me conveys your most peculiar taste.

Let’s crack a bottle and try out your favorite craft 

Remind me again (why it was) we laughed

I’m ready as I’ll ever be to skip across the crossroads

I’ve thought of it before, although I always kept the door closed

The painted road’s portrayal requires that you’ve left

I think I’d go with you if you would take the second step

You’re like the po-lice and a wet and frozen street

You arrest me and you knock me off my feet.

Forgive me for the oddest choice of strung together nouns 

Let’s share a pot before we go and hit the town.

I’m ready as I’ll ever be to skip across the crossroads

I’ve thought of it before, although I always kept the door closed

The painted road’s portrayal requires that you’ve left

I think I’d go with you if you would take the second step

Is this ‘the evening’ or should I have dressed for tea?

My night is open if you’d like to stay with me-

Let’s buy an olive and some cheese to fill a plate

And then dessert so we can have the perfect date.

Is this illusion, or am I a truer me?

I didn’t hear until you taught me how to see

You take the leading, then together we’ll have led

Apologies for all the sorry’s that I’ve said

I’m ready as I’ll ever be to skip across the crossroads

I’ve thought of it before, although I always kept the door closed

The painted road’s portrayal requires that you’ve left

I think I’d go with you if you would take the second step
