Why can't it just stop?
Why can't I just stop?
Why is it that whenever I see you, it takes my breath away?
My heart pounds, my palms sweat, my legs shake.
Why can one glance from you cloud my mind?
My throat dries up, my world spins, my life comes to a stop.
After you're gone, your lost presence leaves me in chills.
But you're probably off somewhere else, with someone else in your thoughts.
And I'm left behind, with nothing but fleeting moments and my memories to keep me alive.
