You travel the highways of my mind
driving the roads I blocked off
the fear of intimacy, of vulnerability
right on the edge of moving forward

We talked for a bit under the guise of play
with each message, butterflies were born
you self disclosed, I self deprecated
never unveiling my true self

Did I ruin something that could have been?
always damaging
wanting to be friends
maybe more if I could let myself

I travel the long way around to avoid your gaze
somehow, our eyes always meet
butterflies still swarming
Do you know it's me?

As much as I crave your attention
I'm glad you're just a distraction from the past
but I never want to sleep
You travel the highways of my mind
