What’s Underneath

On Through This Pen

Since the day you came out of your shell

Came out of your shirt

Came out of your belt

Everything relevant went to hell

And left me with this story to tell

You didn't see me

In the tree across the street from your window sneaking late at night

Sometimes I'd watch you sleep

Toss, and dream, and everything in between

Did you forget to close your blinds

Or was it all for me?

I could dream the sweetest dream

But nothing beats this reality

Cuz I've seen what's underneath

I saw the real you and all you had to hide

And I swear you looked right at me and whispered

"Come inside, and I won't tell if you come on over here tonight

Won't tell if you come on over here."

I can't go home and no one knows

That I'm here or what I've seen

I can't go home and no one knows

That I've seen what's underneath everything

You're beautiful in the morning

I love how you sleep, untainted with thread

Countless times I've been away

But the shape of your body is stuck in my head

And I hope, I hope that you

Get something contagious on your face and neck

And I'll bet your reign as 'untouchable' will end

And maybe you'll see me when your world is coming to an end

I'll be there

I'll be there for you

I can't go home and no one knows

That I'm here or what I've seen

I can't go home and no one knows

That I've seen what's underneath

Since the day you came out of your shell

Came out of your shirt

Came out of your belt...

(That's how it ends Jeff.)
