Table of Contents
Location
I want to read your table of contents
I want to read our last page first
I just want to know if this is going to be worth it
Or if we are going to end up hurt
I want to know what page you first notice my smile
And when you’ll get the nerve to ask me to dance
I want to know what page you start to have feelings
And what page you feel like you have a chance
I want to be able to turn to the page that you first kiss me
And be able to read how you felt when you got home
I’ll compare it to how you felt at the very end
And see how far we’ve come
I want to read your table of contents
And see when you decided between wrong and right
Which page you decided it was okay to hit a woman
When was a bottle of captain worth the fight
I want to flip to the page that you realize what love is
And if you thought it was me
Or was it the girl who would text you late at night
And would tell me not to worry
If I could shake your hand and be able to read
About the monster that lies under your skin
I’d step away and forget you
Before we could even begin
I want to read your table of contents
Because just maybe I don’t have to push you away
I wouldn’t let the past ruin my future
Just because I’m scared of what we might say
I want to read your table of contents
But never judge your book by its cover
We could save ourselves a lot of time
In this journey of a lover
