You Answer So Simply

Something strange is coming over me;
My heart has secrets and my stomach won't eat;
My thoughts are fuzzy and my veins pump free into me.

And now I'm so damn tired but I just can't sleep;
My legs are solid yet they feel so weak;
My eyes are glossy, whether tears or rain;
My brain's stopped ticking but I don't feel the pain.

My smile seems endless yet I don't know why;
Fireflies in my stomach, contained through the night;
I'm so damn giddy I could swear I'm decreasing in age.

Do I feel this way, because of the moon?
Do my feet feel funny 'cause I've stopped wearing shoes?
Does my heart feel heavy, because of all the love that I've got?

I like to hold countdowns at crosswalks;
And pay to watch buskers paint sidewalks;
And sometimes I cry at twilight,
Because I don't know where my life lies, after tonight.

I turn my head left and catch you looking at me,
And I avert my eyes so swiftly that I'm getting dizzy,
And my hearts starts to flutter to remind my lungs to breathe.

You take a few steps up and I follow your lead;
My eyes are on yours and your skin is on me;
I take a deep breath and realize that it’s you and me.

And I think out loud “How lucky am I,
Two souls so different, how'd we ever survive”
You answer so simply it could make me cry
“It’s because I fall in love with you every single night”

So the story is told of how the girl met the boy and
How he stole her heart and how she brought him his joy
And of all the things I’ve ever achieved,
You're now the most important to me.

I love you, everything to me.
