your touch causes sparks
to shoot through my fingers
and dance up my arms
that first sip kind of feeling
i get when i swig sparkling seltzer
your kiss makes my head spin
warmth crawls through my body
like the taste of tequila
but your lips are my chaser
sweet like cinnamon on orange
your words turn me inside out
i'm on fire and melting
into a puddle of passion
the way liquor makes me leap
into a pool of liquid courage

my words are fumbling
and i'm definitely stumbling
my heart is pounding
i can't find my grounding
but i'm not drunk
i've just sunk
i'm not wasted
your lips are all i've tasted
i'm not reeling
this is just how i'm feeling

i told you i loved you
in the middle of crowded chaos
fireworks from every direction
set off into a starry sky
and while there was glitter in my veins
from one too many white claws
i meant what i said
the timing was wrong, sure
a bit rushed, a ninety dollar uber
but i meant what i said

so here i am again
i love you
you give me sparkles, warmth, and courage
without even a sip of alcohol
you give me that
drunk when i'm sober
kind of feeling
i love you
just hold me and my head will spin
you make me want to dance on bar counters
and run into empty streets
laughing like a fool
and praying to never come down
you just get me drunk when i'm sober
and i love you
so hold me
and i'll never come down
