Put Love First
S.S.T. Band Lyrics

It's the crack of noon
It's midday

And I sit here watching you sleeping
I'm watching you as you're asleep

I only wish that I could remember your name
I wish I knew your name

But I know it's written on a matchbook somewhere
I suspect your name is written on a matchbook

And maybe I'll find it, and maybe I'll care
I might find it and care, or might not

Or maybe you'll fix me with one of those stares
Or maybe you'll stare at me in a powerful way

And put up a fight
And resist

So when you awake I admit I'm relieved
I'm relieved when you wake up

When you flash me a smile like a diamond
When you smile at me brilliantly

And just for a moment I almost believe
For a brief moment, I almost believe

In love at first light
In the possibility of falling in love quickly

I propose a breakfast of coffee and aspirin
I suggest drinking coffee and taking aspirin for breakfast

You laugh, suggesting a raw egg or two
You laugh and suggest eating raw eggs

But oh was it ever so good being bad?
But was breaking the rules really so good?

Like a couple of vampires, deliciously mad
Like crazy vampires

Saying this is the best blood that we've ever had
Referring to the drinks they had as blood

So we drank it all night
We kept drinking all night

And it we untangle the webs that we weave
If we sort out our complicated lives

Then maybe there's room for more laughter
Then there could be more opportunities for joy

Cause just for a moment I almost believe
Because for a brief moment, I almost believe

In love at first light
In the possibility of falling in love quickly

Feeling cold
Feeling chilly

You put a robe 'round my shoulders
You give me a robe to keep me warm

Smile and pull one of your favorite books from my shelf
You smile and borrow one of my favorite books from my shelf

Let's open the curtains and let out the dark
Let's open the curtains to let in the light and dispel the darkness

And if the sun doesn't melt us and there's still a spark
And if we survive the heat and there's still a connection

And we do something human like walk in the park
And we do something normal like taking a walk in the park

The spark could ignite
The connection could grow stronger

So maybe I'm moonstruck, or maybe naive
I could be silly or foolish

But I know there's a God and a Devil
But I believe in a higher power and evil

So maybe I'm crazy enough to believe
So maybe I'm insane enough to believe

In love at first light
In the possibility of falling in love quickly
