I wanted to tell you 'bout the lightening this morning
but I'm reoccupied with love.
I spent the afternoon tying on headscarves,
hoping around you they'd fall off.
I thought this song was going fine until I realized
all I've talked about is you.
Thought you were the kind of pretty only worth seeing
under the glow of the sun.
Turns out you're full of light, the problem being
I'm drawn to you like a moth.
And every time I seem to get a little close to you
I feel my wings scorched in your flame.
Can you blame me for trying?
I thought I saw you in my cards.
My faith is swiftly diving,
I guess I misread you heart.
I never knew you to be so disarming,
but now I see I had you wrong.
I couldn't see past the string you kept dangling
'front of my constant reaching arms.
And even when the winds turned on my little fantasy
I thought I was still sailing on.
But you were the rocks I hit
I'm sinking like a stone,
I'm sinking like a stone.
