Love Drunk

They say, our hearts are wild creatures,
That's why, our ribs are a cage,
And if, my creature should be tamed,
I believe it's you, who'd turn the page,
We rise, we fall, we run, we crawl,
We lick our wounds and start anew,
Your heart with mine, we soon may find,
We knew exactly what to do,
I said I love you,
You've got me so love drunk,
I always think of you,
When I'm all alone,
When words have no meaning,
Take what I'm feeling,
And keep it with you,
When we're far apart,
You've got me so love drunk, love drunk, love drunk,
You've got me so love drunk, love drunk,
You've got me so love drunk,
We rise, we fall, we run, we crawl,
We lick our wounds and start anew,
Your heart with mine, we soon may find,
We knew exactly what to do,
I said I love you,
You've got me so love drunk,
I always think of you,
When I'm all alone,
When words have no meaning,
Take what I'm feeling,
And keep it with you,
When we're far apart,
You've got me so love drunk, love drunk, love drunk,
You've got me so love drunk, love drunk,
You've got me so love drunk,

The Other Side

I place your photograph upon this coffee table,
Remembering the curves along your face,
The way my fingers ran along your soft and rosy cheeks,
And how they'd occupy that very space,
And flow,
Like dew drops down a blade of grass,
To hold this life,
That we once had together, birds a feather,
Now cold as ice,
Then I, wake up hope to see you and I,
Think on all we've been through and,
Fall back to the other side, straight back to the other side,
And I, take time just to digest and I,
Can't stand what comes next cause I'm
Straight back to the other side, Straight back to the other side,
A wiser man once laid his hand upon my shoulder,
Said it's you who wakes up with you in the end,
I made a choice and now I'm sitting right back at this table,
Wondering if I could make amends,
And flow,
Like dew drops down a blade of grass,
To hold this life,
That we once had together, birds a feather,
Now cold as ice,
Then I, wake up hope to see you and I,
Think on all we've been through and,
Fall back to the other side, straight back to the other side,
And I, take time just to digest and I,
Can't stand what comes next cause I'm
Straight back to the other side, Straight back to the other side,
Then I, wake up hope to see you and I,
Think on all we've been through and,
Fall back to the other side, straight back to the other side,
And I, take time just to digest and I,
Can't stand what comes next cause I'm
Straight back to the other side, Straight back to the other side

What Now?

You always see the light,
In every little thing that you do,
You're true to what is right,
It's nice to see the fire inside your eyes,
And maybe I am smitten, could be something,
More than just kidding, more than what we saw here,
At first,
Beyond the circumstances, past it all we,
Could be taking chances, so enthralled,
Enchanted,
By a chance,
And maybe, we were meant now for each other but what now?
What now?
Let's take a look inside,
See the beautiful mind behind that face,
An exhilarating ride,
Curves and turns while moving at such pace,
And maybe I am smitten, could be something,
More than just kidding, more than what we saw here,
At first,
Beyond the circumstances, past it all we,
Could be taking chances, so enthralled,
Enchanted,
By a chance,
And maybe, we were meant now for each other but what now?
What now?
And maybe, we could take these chances, go beyond all doubt,
What now?
One day we'll look back and see,
We lived in serendipity,
That place that time, oh so sublime,
Felt so good like a perfect crime,
Look into my eyes and say,
"You'd hate for life to be this way" but,
Only on opposite day,
And maybe, we were meant now for each other but what now?
What now?
And maybe, we could take these chances, go beyond all doubt,
What now?
