When it comes to you.
It's better if I just be quiet,
my words have a mind of their own;
I promised myself that I'd try it
but my head just can't leave it alone.
I know everything that I said
and I've given you good cause to doubt;
it all sounds alright in my head
then I speak and pure crazy falls out.
The only explanation that will do:
this only happens when it comes to you.
This boat that we're in just keeps rocking
and I try to sit down and be good,
but I'm so nervous when we are talking
that my mouth shoots my head in the foot.
I push you away with intention
then panic and reach out again;
if you're thinking I need intervention,
that I'm not entirely sane,
then give my inner devil his due;
this only happens when it comes to you.
I minimized this attraction;
I threw it down in the dust;
I called it a minor distraction;
I called you an endorphin rush.
I bared myself to my own nature
then covered in armor and thorns;
a difficult, contrary creature
constantly changing her form.
I don't blame you if you're really through;
this only happens when it comes to you.
I've ordered my thoughts with these verses;
I've given them structure and style.
I'm hoping they can undo curses,
bridge the distance of one thousand miles.
I take back my rude condescension;
my thoughtless and sweeping remarks,
I break down the walls of my prison;
drain the moat and remove all the sharks.
There's really nothing more that I can do;
this only happens when it comes to you.
