I don't take risks and you were my example
I lose out but you make me want to gamble
But she's not something you can win by playing poker
And escape drunken casinos before losing it all over
And then winning it again
her charisma has no end
I'm stuck inside my head like droplets stuffed into a white cloud
and she's dreamy like the Beatles played aloud
You looking at me is like watching a sunrise improbably emerging from a stormy morning in the distance with a nervous calm
while i watch silently from a park bench before being shat on by a swan
She's sweet like moon sand disguised as grains of sugar topping a dessert of joy because she's out of this world
And I hope to goodness I won't hurl
A short walk with you in the rain
Would be like lightning the moment I first heard you say my name
Incorrectly, but leaving me with wonder
