You make me feel

You make me feel like a child - I want to run with you and dance and yell - so eager to be with you that hours seem like years.
You make me feel like a teenager - wanting to devour your physical self until it's mine - so wild with lust that a kiss seems like a lifetime.
You make me feel like a sage - analyzing, realizing, demystifying everything.- watching the world with you makes years seem like seconds.
You make me feel like a woman - waking with your hair in my face, keeping you warm, holding you tight - even if it's only for 5 more minutes.

I sit on my couch

I laugh when they laugh, I cry when they cry
Will you save her Superman, or will she die?

I believe what they say, I know what they mean.
The world is my TV, my eyes are the screen

Looking for excuses to justify
our other lives, our secrets, lies
What are we really about?

I'm always about me
you're always about you
grasping for Some Next Better

There's no time to jump in
to let go
if ideals are not spent here

Maybe the physical connection is
the only Real connection
anyway
