I want a love like Elizabeth & Jeff
A love larger than life, & one that transcends death
Making beautiful songs together, belonging together
Sharing deepest secrets, no longer behind screens
Mutual adoration, admiration, the tenderest of scenes
For our eyes only, no longer longing, no longer lonely
I want what they had, sirens in the sea, swimming side by side
Without the part where he drowned & died
I don't want tragic love, just magic love
Sharing muses, & I want the kind of love where we'll become each other's muse
With you I want to break all the rules
No more doomed love, please
No more begging on my knees
Just a love that comes with ease
Naturally, mutually
Still I hope you someday feel the same
For my falling, who is to blame?
You or me, or is it just this sickness of mind that I was unfortunate enough to catch?
I caught the sickness but I cannot catch the antidote, it seems
No, I'm forever lost inside my mawkish daydreams--& you can't catch my fall
Sometimes I get excited to go to sleep at night in hopes that you might greet me
Meet me in a dream, somewhere in between
Reality & fantasy
I want the kind of love that hits me hard, but makes me soft, & softens all the other pains
The kind of love that braves all seasons, fire & ice, droughts & rains
Lingering limerence consumes my mind until there's nothing else left, & I can't let you go
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know?
I want you to, but I also fear what would happen if you did
Maybe they're right & I'm still a silly kid
Mistaking fantasy for reality, replacing reality with fantasy
But God, it feels so real
I so want it to be real
Will it ever be real?
If not, heaven help me heal
From this illness, leaving me bound to my bed
In hopes that you might just appear in my head
The hole in my heart just grows & grows, it knows no bounds
My imagination sails me to heaven, but my feet are shackled to the ground
Limerence still chokes me tightly, & you, you still shine so brightly
Casting a shadow that I can never outrun
No matter how hard I try, it simply can't be done
I pray all day for an end to this plight
But now I need you more than ever tonight
