There's something about you that I just can't let go of,
God only knows why I keep sticking my hands in the flames.
I know full well that it will eventually burn me,
but I'm still drawn in all the same.

I'm tired of noticing every little thing you do,
hoping with everything that I have it's some type of sign.
I want to be able to finally stop guessing and wondering,
and know for sure if you're ready to just be mine

Who would have thought that of all people,
I would be so **** attracted to you.
But I wouldn't have it any other way,
and hopefully you feel the same way too.

i've heard that drunk words are sober thoughts,
and you are on my mind right now.
a cheap 80 proof runs through my veins,
my tongue loose with the truths that I can't face in the light;
and just like that last shot I took,
I know I will regret this in the morning.
but I've come too far to go back now.
time is running out before my eyes,
and I ache to kiss you to fill our unfinished sentences,
yet the taste of you is far too intoxicating
and I will never be satisfied with just one moment

How long am I going to be your "sometimes"?
Your "maybe" or "I'm not sure yet"?
How many times are you going to put me on a shelf
until you decide you're ready to want me again?
I'm not ready to kiss you goodbye,
and be left only with the memories.
So please don't make me think there's hope of a something,
if you're just going to leave me here with nothing
but a broken dream.

For the times I restrained myself
Every inch of this body was yours,
The ocean felt miles from here,
I missed the tides washing me away,
The sails catching the breeze in their arms,
How do you love something and set it free?
Now all I got are graffiti wall spines,
My stomach in noose knots
and Emerald eyes,
When I love you I will be silent,
My actions will be jazz musicians,
And new orleans will be my bed
Rest here beside me,
For I have walked the distance
far too many nights,
My vision is bottle blurred,
And my heart is bleeding
