Smile, You're on Camera


Smile, You're on Camera

 

The Coke can on my shelf spilled like the words do from my heart every time you are around

Golly, you sure make it hard for me to hold my ground 

I don't need a photographic memory to memorize every feature of your face 

They're already engrained into my brain, you're my saving grace

Your smile should be framed in that fancy art museum place 

I forget the name 

Hearing your voice, my knees get weak and I fall to the floor

Your face is a camera, and smiling for the camera seems to be the only reason I smile anymore 

You've caught my heart in a hit and run 

Looking into your eyes feels like staring down the barrel of a loaded gun

Please, don't pull the trigger 

I picture us holding hands in the photography section of the library

It doesn't take much to scare me 

I'd follow you blindly like a kid in the dark with no flashlight

You could kick me in the teeth and I fear that I'd still adore you, in spite

Thinking of you makes it hard to rhyme 

Hearing your voice gives me a tingling feeling in my heartline 

Your perfume in the halls makes me flatline 

I don't know if its love, but it's sure on the borderline
