to each experience, for without them there would be no words.
Take me to the ocean floor Crash over me Take me where we've been before Over and over again Bring me to the edge of the world Rain over me Take me with my toes curled Tell me it will never end Captivate me, make me inspired Come over me Pull me into your deepest …
Crickets in my ear And a sky so clear With a cool breeze That smells of salt seas With the dead bolt turned My stomach churned An image of that face In all it's adulteress grace With big sad eyes Looking up to clouded skies And parted lips Kissed your fingertips Well here I am …
Baby will take me downtown Kiss me while there's Motown Blasting in my ears Tell me I'm beautiful Make me number one Or just another one Added to the notch on your belt Talk to me slowly Make up pretty lies Until I tell you you're the best Cause are you mine? No, but that …
