You make me feel like I'm collapsing in on myself But in the really good way I promise. Your whispers weave their way down to my chest and wrap themselves around my lungs Constrictive Forcing all the air from them til I can't breath. I don't want to. You roll your eyes to heaven and laugh While stars burst behind mine. With every fond shake of your head my heart pulses 3 times quicker. You've turned me into a hummingbird, a mouse, I'm vibrating. And I'm floating The dead weight around my ankles evaporates when you sigh. Soon enough I'll have to be tied down. I'm a helium balloon filled with your giggles and off-key singing and 3am questions of "why are we here, monkey? what are we doing? do you think dogs understand us? what would happen if i put marshmallows in the microwave for 7 minutes?" I'm expanding I'm inflating I'm going to burst. I'd be happy to.

Look At What You've Done To Me
You make me feel like I'm collapsing in on myself But in the really good way I promise. Your whispers weave their way down to my chest and wrap themselves around my lungs Constrictive Forcing all the air from them til I can't breath. I don't want to. You roll your eyes to heaven and laugh While stars burst behind mine. With every fond shake of your head my heart pulses 3 times quicker. You've turned me into a hummingbird, a mouse, I'm vibrating.
