Enough Of You


A first for me

Having someone 

Like you

So close

You're so close

So far under my skin

No chance

I can't win

I sink

When I try to swim

All I needed

Was a taste

And now

You're everywhere

And I need you here

Closer and closer

 

Your beath

On my skin

Your eyes

On me

That hunger

Inside of you

Burns me up

I didn't even know

This fire

This ache

Existed inside of me

And now

I can't turn it off

Somehow

You got so far under my skin

Every time

You win

 

Going under

But flying high

On cloud nine

Can't come down

But crash

Every time you leave

Can't take it

I'll never be able to quit 

If you keep giving me

This fix

A rush

I've never known before

It's too much

 

A good kind of pain

The rain

It cleanses

The high

Heals the bones

I've broken

From the falls

The touch

The fire

The way I come alive

Under your eyes

Never felt this good

Never had this before

And now that I do

I can't get enough

Of you
