but more than anything,
i want to feel five thousand heartstrings flying in the wind
the walls of my atria expanding
and relaxing,
nerves of my brain split into a ruin

i want to feel like i'm tumbling into a vacuum valley and flying up to the cyan skies that open for just us,
i want to be big, bigger than the earth's land
i want to fit into the petit palm of your hand

i want to feel thunderstorms of tears, hot with rage
i want lust to burn inside me like a forest fire
i want to understand every stupid song they've sung
i want to feel young, young, young

let me dance on brick rooftops and dream of impossible forever
let me believe in tomorrow with faith in the future
let me be desperate, vulnerable, reckless
let me be foolish, consumed, hopeless

i want to feel the vitality of youth
and the quintessence of desire
i want to feel both ends of the spectrum
i want to feel warm and fuzzy - welcome

in short, i want to be in love
unapologetic love, loud love
love with bright lights and fast cars
love that doesn't begin in the after hours

i just want to feel what being in love is like
i'm sure it's magical.
