The first time I ever kissed a boy
I remember the sinking feeling
No rainbows or joy
There was no romance
No sparks or magic
Or fireflies that danced

The first time I kissed a girl?
Now that's a different story entirely
I felt a sudden explosion
Take place inside of me
I tasted happiness, serenity
I savoured passion and certainty.

I swear I felt the stars fizzle on my tongue
For the first time in my life
My heart understood
Where it should
Belong.

Tracing your shadow with my shoe
Imagining all of me pressed into you
Staring at your reflection in the glass
Reminding me of a week just past
I was sitting across from you
In a busy café somewhere new
Sipping coffees, conversing simply
Except the discussion was hanging limply
In the air getting stagnant and awkward
Until I moved and leant slightly forward
You got up and ran away from me
I thought you wanted to kiss me, see?
Sparks flew inside like fourth of july
Was everything you said just a disguise
To lead me along, was it all lies?
But just before I say goodbye for good
Ive got to say something, I feel I should
My little, sparkling dragonfly
I've got to say this and I don't know why
''I love you''

Hi, **. Hi, **!
It's off to work I go.
Chewing on some coffee grounds
and choking down my smokes.
Hi, **. Hi, **!
It's time to start the show.
I'll attach a cordial mask
and leave my brain at home.
Hi, **. Hi, **!
Oh say it isn't so.
This place will be the death of me
and then they'll work my bones.
