How silly of me
to want a whole new you
insane's the game
intensity's the dreaded glue
I'm attracted to you
like a train wreck's inside tour
and I want nobody else
you are my perfect lure
How is it that
you see right through my core?
where is that perfect landing
that will place me at your door?
I want the whole world
to slow down just a bit
for I am deranged, in love
and getting sick of it
Perhaps you can take a moment
to hear me spin my story round
I promise to keep it short and sweet
just let me in your arms be found.
If not, then let me off now
this merry go round sulks big
I've no more time, at all
for I'm perched upon this twig.

AH! Found the reason....
I want the whole world
to slow down just a bit
for I am deranged, in love
and getting sick of it
that sometimes your muse fits the "amazing" category. You're "deranged" just like me!
