Marc Kuchner Curiosity Lyrics

It was a grey September day when you moved in next door
Your eyes were bright with a foreign light that I had to explore
We stole out to the woods and lay down on the leaves by the shed
When you told me your plans, I couldn't understand half the words you said
But when I touched your hair it felt so fine
The skin on your hands didn't look like mine
When you kissed my mouth, I stopped breathing

So I guess this is how it had to be
We see the world so differently
I had to hold you, you had to hold me
And it was just curiosity

We strolled through the mall with our coats and our c__es that we bought from the ice cream stand
And I was aware how nobody stared as we passed by hand in hand
But talking to my folks seemed like a bad joke I didn't know how to begin
So I just sighed and told a few lies and tried to lift up my chin
You called my home, they said I wasn't there
I wanted to run, but I stuck to my chair
When I said I'd tried you didn't believe me
And inside I was screaming

But I guess this is how it had to be
We see the world so differently
I didn't love you, you didn't love me
It was just curiosity
Sometimes the road to love isn't paved
We had to find out the hard way
We lost faith in what we believed
And it was just

Now you might as well have dwelled in a land far across the sea
But I'm still held by the spell of the days when we were so carefree
And our eyes were wide with pride and the tide of possibilities
Now all I can do is hope that you'll remeber me

But I guess this is how it had to be
We see the world so differently
I didn't love you, you didn't love me
And it was just curiosity
Sometimes the road to love isn't paved
We had to find our own way
We lost faith in what we believed
And it was just curiosity
It was curiosity, baby
Just curiosity
