A catalyst I can't ignore

Come to save my day

A mind that set you in

And hit "replay"

Giving so much melody

Coming naturally

Saying you try, but

there's no effort, really.

I want to return the favor

But my looks seem to do

I can't believe this

So I try more for you

Any nicknames that I can

While you've stacked a million

Any leaps I can make

While you've crossed a canyon

In just a weekend's set 

Already a foundation built

We got this going heavy

Text after text on stilts

Flustered hearts for two

And I'll take that to- no

Because I didn't want this

It's very sweet though.

The flattery is a lot

But how can I be considerate

When all that I want to do

Is drop off this planet?

How can I love another

When emotions

Have been absent for so long

In this deep ocean?

How can I kep you 

when my words

fail to match yours

And they're starting to hurt?

I was only following

Because you crushed first

Staring and compliments

I saw you were to burst

So then you asked, with guilt

Over a text message

Relationships scare the death out of me

Even though I said, "Yes."
