Heat

He's bathed in neon,
As we stand before harsh streetlights,
Flickering signs beguiling,
But everybody wants you -
Why should I even bother?
As the roads are swept with darkness,
And the heat slowly drains from them,
As your face is turned towards me,
And the whole world turns away,
I think you know.

Lately,
I can't seem to ignore you,
My whole world spins before you,
And everyone around me,
Becomes so unimportant,
And you don't even want me -
But one day I'm sure you'll see
The heat that you are causing,
Within and all around me.

Within and all around me.

I think you know,
My hands twitch at your voice now,
And my skin crawls as I think how,
You might leave me alone here,
Are you really so blind?
How could you miss what's happening?
You've started flame a-burning,
My soul is surely yearning,
And you do know.

Lately,
I can't seem to ignore you,
My whole world spins before you,
And everyone around me,
Becomes so unimportant,
And you don't even want me -
But one day I'm sure you'll see
The heat that you are causing,
Within and all around me.

You're bathed in neon,
As we embrace before harsh street lights,
Your eyes beguiling.
And everybody wants you,
But you won't even bother.

Coz you want me...

Lately,
I can't seem to ignore you,
My whole world spins before you,
And everyone around me,
Becomes so unimportant,
And I know that you want me -
Because you couldn't but not see
The heat that you are causing,
Within and all around me.
Within and all around me.
Within and all around me.
