My heart and brain are chasing each other's tails
In circles, not coming up with anything new
Except the way that flower stems have wrapped themselves around by rib cage
And curled delicately up my spine until they've found a way to decorate my skin colours of green and lilac
Safe
Locked up
And held tight
Aware of all that's felt inside
Like strings of gold
And sunlight
Things you can never just buy
Heartbeats
Collarbones
Never far
Stay close
Things you can't just let go
When holding to the late glow
I Wont Go Home Without You
-Maroon 5. The lyrics aren't particularly important...but the music captures the feeling.
Curious and contagious
There are flowers falling from my hair
Upwards from the ocean
Like bubbles coming up for air
I Like Your Stars
I'm full of them again
Butterflies and toads and wildflowers
Growing all inside my belly and sprouting blossoms in my head
Something like seeing stars
Whoa Now
Okay
This is what I look like: draped over the steering wheel
Laughing at street lights and sighing at the moon
I turned the music up and taught everyone how to dance
I keep reminding my mother that I wasn't influenced by high school
When I was in high school
So I'm living the dream now
A fanciful twenty
So
This is what I feel like: a bucket full of air
Scooped right out of the sky and breezing through the doorways
A million stars don't seem to mean a thing, and they mean everything
And there has always been something about summer that changes my way of life
A switch flips and my brain faulters and my heart gives itself up
Late at night I quietly dwell on foolishness
But in the sunshine I revel in it
Run!
My feet are catching over top each other
I'm not sure of the details, but I think I'm trying to run away
Through an ocean through a sea through the great deep
Progress is barely shifting
But my heart is beating out of my chest
It's pumped blood from my ears to my stomach
And I don't even know where my reason lives anymore
