Dinner for Two (Love at First Fright Challenge #MidnightTee)

+ Show full styles

[Intro]

You always pour the wine first..
I love that about you.

[Verse 1]

You pulled my chair out gently  
Brushed a little hair away  
Said you liked the way I looked  
When I had nothing left to say  
There was something in the wine  
A lovely, metallic taste  
I caught you watching my reaction  
As I wiped my lips and smiled your way  
You asked if I was frightened  
I said, "Should I be?"  
You laughed beneath your breath  
And poured another glass for me

[Pre-Chorus]

Everybody warned me  
About the things you like to do  
But nobody ever told me  
How it feels to be loved by you

[Chorus]

Set the table, Hannibal  
I'm staying here tonight  
You know exactly how I like it  
And you always get it right  
Cut me something tender  
Pour me something red  
I could listen to you forever  
Even when I shouldn't hear what's said  
And if I'm on the menu  
Darling, take your time  
I'd rather be your last obsession  
Than somebody else's wife

[Verse 2]

Your hands are always steady  
Even when the knife goes in  
You tell me I'm your favorite  
With that almost innocent grin  
There's a heartbeat in the silence  
Or perhaps it's only mine  
You say the secret's in the seasoning  
And offer me another bite  
You know the names of all the flowers  
You know the vintage of the wine  
You know the things I've never told you  
And somehow, I don't seem to mind

[Pre-Chorus]

They say that love is blind  
But darling, I can see  
The little things you hide from them  
You never hide from me

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

There's a man inside your freezer  
Whose photograph I've seen  
You told me he was rude to you  
And I know what that means  
I should be running for the doorway  
I should be calling someone now  
But you have blood beneath your fingernails  
And I'm kissing it somehow  
You ask me if I love you  
I say, "More than I should."  
You say, "Then finish your dinner."  
And God, it tastes so good.

[Final Chorus]

Set the table, Hannibal  
And turn the lights down low  
I've never felt so understood  
By someone I should never know  
Cut me something tender  
Pour me something red  
If this is how you love someone  
Then love me till the end  
And if I'm on the menu  
Darling, take your time  
You can have my heart for dinner  
If you'll let me have your mind

[Outro]

You asked me how I liked the wine.
I said...
"It tastes like pennies."
You smiled.
And kissed me anyway.
