You're the Perfect Drug

You're the perfect drug

every whiff of you gets me high.

Intoxicating fumes seep through my skin

tugging at my veins

and painting my world blue.

 

Just looking at you flips my life upside-down.

Ridiculous fantasies zig-zag my eyes

gluing you into every cardboard scene.

Just the wanting, needing, kissing and breathing.

Our lives swirl from black and white

to a pasty gray.

 

So they say "You had me at hello"

but it's not what hello can bring.

Your voice flips a switch and suddenly

memories flood my ears

teasing and tickling

suffocating every other thought.

 

What can I say?

You're the perfect drug

and being around you

just takes me away.
