The story

i love a man that fights for love. this man just wants to know what it is that he needs to do. he messed up somewhere and realized that he was about to lose his girl, so he wants to know all the things so he does not do it again. he wants to make right and just wants her to tell him, like when they were friends and first learning about each other.

that man

Baby, slow down and stop
Take a deep breath
Tell it from your heart
Close your eyes and talk
That's the only place to start
Don't let it end
Sit me down, look me in the eye
Don't yell it – tell it like a friend
Help me understand
Tell me cuz I want to be that man

That man in your dreams
Who makes you smile in your sleep
Who when you were 8 you wanted to marry
When a kiss on the cheek meant "for keeps"
That innocence of love
That man you dream of
That man I can't see
Please describe him to me
Stop and take my hand
I can be that man

I know I've caused fear
Yea there is no doubt
There have been a lot of tears
I know you want out
You think things can't change
there is a different route
I want to go there, be that man
Baby, take my hand
Help me understand
Show me how to be that man

That man in your dreams
Who makes you smile in your sleep
Who when you were 8 you wanted to marry
When a kiss on the cheek meant "for keeps"
That innocence of love
That man you dream of
That man I can't see
please describe him to me
Stop and take my hand
I can be that man

When I look in your eyes I know
That is a love that can only grow
And when I felt your hands I knew
I was meant to be touched by you
Take my hand now
Help me understand
I want to be your man
