about

having known himself as something of a manipulator, he's worried his cloak is insufficient, doesn't make a clear choice of who to be & when. tries anyway.

lyrics

If I was the night, I'd bathe you in light from the stars & moon
& if I was the wind, I'd drift by your chin in the afternoon
But I'm tangled in flesh with a heart that, at best, can beat hard & true
If I had it my way, I'd spend every day close to you

Some other guys may command you to stay & unwrap your heart
& then holdin' your eyes & tellin' you lies, they'll tear you apart
But my mind is a field where a wagon with wheels is rollin' through
If I had it my way, I'd spend every day close to you

I'm just a guy, & I
Have no plans
& if you ask why, I'll just say
Please - can I be your man?
Can I be your man?
Can I be your man?

My favorite thought is one I have not yet shared with you
But I'm worried that I would say it & sigh & not get it through
But my words ain't enough & my words they are rough, & barely true
Suffice it to say that I just wanna stay close to you
