My head is thick with thoughts of you,
and I don't know how to stop it.
Truthfully I'm not sure that I'm even trying to...
You were my too soon too late,
and now it's exactly that.
Too soon...
to need you like this.
Too late...
to stop my heart from wanting yours...
I feel it speed up and race with the scent of you.
Our hands brush and it pounds in my chest with a calm authority.
Like it's knocking on its cell door asking to be paroled.
It wants to play but I'm scared it'll slip,
that it's slipping.... and falling....for you.
That it'll scrape itself all up again.
Soon all it will be is scars.
"They don't make Band-Aids big enough
for wounds like that", I think to myself,
But as I do your arms wrap around me like a first aid kit
to stop the bleeding before it starts.
That's when it hits me,
That you could take me out and down.
I didn't see it at first, but I see it now.
And even knowing that, I would follow you still.
Your kisses, like warm whispers,
and I, am all ears.
They could make hell look like heaven,
and would have me smiling the whole ride there.
I'll take your demons over your angels any day.
They are so much more fun when we play.
And at least then I know what I'm in for.
Real you is all that interests me.
Like the way you roll your eyes when my mouth says something that gets under your skin.
When all I keep thinking is how much my mouth wants to get under your skin.... and make you roll your eyes again...
This time though I won't waste my breath using words to make my point, when my tongue knows that actions will make you speak louder...
And its thoughts like this that keep me up at night,
that make it impossible to concentrate on anything that doesn't end with your name.
So I let your name pass my lips,
playing with how it feels against them,
and I'll hold you there until the next time
that I can press mine to yours.

Falling For You
"What time you coming out?
We started losing light
I’ll never make it right
If you don’t want me ‘round
I’m so excited for the night
All we need’s my bike
And your enormous house
You said someday we might
When I’m closer to your height
Till then we’ll knock around and see
If you’re all I need
Don’t you see me now
I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you
Don’t you need me
I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you
On this night and in this light
I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you
Maybe you’ll change your mind
I think I’m falling
I’m caught on your coat again
You said oh no, it’s fine
I read between the lines
And touched your leg again
I’ll take it one day at a time
Soon you will be mine
Oh but I want you now
When the smoke is in your eyes
You look so alive
Do you fancy sitting down with me
Maybe ‘cos you’re all I need according to your heart
My place is not deliberate
Feeling of your arms
I don’t wanna be your friend, I wanna kiss your neck
Don’t you see me
I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you
Don’t you need me
I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you
On this night and in this light
I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you
Maybe you’ll change your mind"
