I wanna hold your hand
I wanna be your man
I wanna be the sand that runs through your toes
Ending up in unsuspecting places of the crannies and folds of your clothes.

I wanna run your race
I wanna occupy your space like some random thought
That public education, good nutrition and moderate exercise just bought.
