Just an Egg

You reached out and touched my hand
The world tilted on shifting sand
Your guiding palm on my lower back
Quaked me like a heart attack
Just a glimpse of your heated eyes
Had me searching for my disguise
But you’d breached my walls, unzipped my hide
Peeped at the yearning coil inside

How could someone I hardly knew
Bypass the protective layers I grew?
I was just an egg with a golden yolk
You cracked my shell and then you stole
My inhibitions, my clothes my pride
Until I begged for a forbidden ride
You gave me all, yet I’m wanting still
Drink forever, never have my fill
You gave me all, yet I’m wanting still
Drink forever, never have my fill

Each of us is just a broken piece
Searching for a sweet release
From craving to be completely whole
To be real instead of playing a role
We think we’re searching for our other half
Think we find it, then it’s not enough
Like we’re destined to wander through
Desert ocher and ocean blue
Until we know there is no place to hide
From ourselves and questions inside

We will always ache and we’ll always groan
Searching for the place called home
Sometimes we’re lucky and we find someone
To share the spaces and have some fun

You reached out and touched my hand
The world tilted on shifting sand
Your guiding palm on my lower back
Quaked me like a heart attack
I was just an egg with a golden yolk
You cracked my shell and then you stole
My inhibitions, my clothes my pride
Until I begged for a forbidden ride
You gave me all, yet I’m wanting still
Drink forever, never have my fill
You gave me all, yet I’m wanting still
Drink forever, never have my fill
