My neck hurts when I kiss you
The way I imagine it will hurt when it's over

I stand on the tips of my toes
And strain to reach your lips

My back starts to ache
And I trip over my own two feet

So I think it would be easier
To just not reach at all

But those eyes shine down from your foot above
And I'm convinced otherwise

You're so big and I'm so small and most of the time,
I'm afraid you'll swallow me whole

That I'll get lost in the gravity of it all
Sent spinning by your pull

You told me on the first night that I kiss like the world is about to end.
But didn't you know,
Every time I kiss you - that's exactly how it feels?
