It stops and starts
The beating of my slow heart
Stung with swords and darts
Flying high and crashing low.
Trying to catch on to your flow
Trying to remember your name
Trying to forget the past
I wanna remind you this is not a game
But I don't wanna be last
In your thoughts
All the wars that you fought
I wanna be the tattoo
That your scars try to live up to
I wanna be under your skin
I want to make your head spin
Let me tell you I think you look cool
Like fool
Caught in your grasp
Holding on to you like a raft
I'm adrift
If you leave make it swift
I won't cry and I won't dwell
Make my heart swell
Say you will
Say you'll try
I'll give you a thrill
Look into my wild eyes
Maybe they'll soften
But don't expect it, they don't do so often.
I wanna be your girl
But I don't wanna hurt
Or my feelings blurt
Just the thought makes me wanna hurl
I don't wanna be weak
Don't make me speak
Listen close
My hands will tell you what I think of most
Pay attention or I'll disappear like a ghost
I'm not dim
But my heart is grim
And I know
You make light glow
And the flowers bloom
Let me be your little spoon
Don't laugh
Or I'll cut you in half
Think I'm lying?
I'll take a polygraph
I'm not a toy
I know you like me
Don't play coy
Let things be
Let us grow
If you want me let me know
How hard is it?
It's not a thing of wit
Say the word
Make it heard.
Say it loud
I want you to scream it
Like you're proud
You and I fit
I'm falling... I admit.
