'Cuz (s)he is afraid of Attainable Love
Afraid it will envelop [her], swallow [her] up
All of [her] life (s)he has resisted the tug
Of Attainable Love
Attainable Love
~Christine Lavin
Today I went on a date... it was so nice. Unfortunately. We made pizza, then went mini-golfing, then watched a movie. We sat on the couch with shoulders touching (the love seat was big enough he could have stayed on his own side) he even wore cologne tonight. (I on the other hand have been running all day-- I was even 30 min late-- was lucky to have had deodorant on. There wasn't anything amazing, no fireworks or stars, it was just comfortable. It was with one of the elders from the mission. And it was nice. I liked him on the mission (I use the word like to mean respected, appreciated, trusted, etc.) Now, outside the mission, I still like him. He's really a stellar person. So, you may ask, why is he un-attainable? Hasn't he asked you out twice now? What's the issue. His heart's not in it... He's got another girl on his mind. ~sigh~ BUT I will not let myself indulge in a crush... though crushes on the unattainable are my favorite. Are they out of the country, in love with someone else, on a mission? Oh baby, that's my kind of man!
And, for your enjoyment, the lyrics to the whole song!
He's not eighteen
He's not twenty-five
He's closing in on forty
Look at those eyes
He's searching for something
He can not describe
He's not unhappy
He's not satisfied.
He falls in love with covers of slick magazines
With serious actresses
On the screen
All are unattainable except in his dreams
Where his heart and his soul reside.
'Cuz he is afraid of Attainable Love
Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up
All of his life he has resisted the tug
Of Attainable Love
Attainable Love
His dance card is full
He's so much in demand
He gets nervous when his partners try to hold his hand
He's got to keep his options open
He's that kind of man
The girls he cha-cha's with never understand.
They wonder if he's gay
But the truth is he's not
He just won't settle for whatever it is he's got
They want to Tango
He want's to Fox Trot
Don't even think about the Can-Can
He can't can't.
'Cuz he is afraid of Attainable Love
Afraid it will envelop him - swallow him up
All of his life he has resisted the tug
Of Attainable Love
Attainable Love.
Add me to the list of women
Who think you'll be different with me
Add me to the list of fools
Who flatly refuse to see
That just like me....
