Lyrical Stress

Life is good I can't complain, I mean I could but no one's listening. Out of bed at the crack of noon glare the music and have a swoon. Here's the thing, we started off friends... now I can't stop thinking of your face. Your image overwhelms my brain, but it feels good. I'm six feet under the Bodhi Tree with my crack new-age philosophy. Trying hard to reach out, dreamin' of what could be. Baby can't you see, I'm calling, a guy like you should wear a warning. Every time you look at me, my heart is jumpin', it's easy to see; you drive me crazy. Your inches from my fingertips, I've come as close as I can get, I'm reaching but the rest is up to you. A few times I've been around that track so it's not just gonna happen like that, cos I ain't no hollerback girl. Come on baby we ain't gonna live forever. What a beautiful mess this is, it's like picking up trash in dresses. Your all I ever wanted, baby, your all I ever needed so tell me what to do now. Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you? Here I am, once again...
Yeah, you figured me out, something gave it away. But you, your on the road but you've got no destination. It's like a private joke, just meant for us to know. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. He drowns in his dreams, and exquisite extreme, I know, he's as damned as he seems. If I tried to save him, my whole world could cave in. I don't know what he's after, but he's so beautiful, such a beautiful disaster. I'm at a place called Vertigo, it's everything I wish I didn't know, except you give me something I can feel. A tragedy with more damage than a soul should see, and do I try to see him?
As we were driving you turned your head around and looked right at me, you couldn't see the road and it was scaring me, how beautiful you are when you get crazy, cause I never felt so weak. I'm walking up to you so slowly, it's about time, it's about time to fly away, but wait, this time it's different cos I'm lonely. Still maybe I would disappear without you. Honestly what do you want me to do? I've tried to find an answer, honestly do we even have a clue what we need to make it better? So what you gonna do, do I gotta spell it out for you? When did your heart go missing? I'm waiting, waiting for nothing...
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror and bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer. Writing moments on the wall, and I can't wait to fall asleep 'cause I have photographs and memories. Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements, even if they lead no where? But every line on your face makes a beautiful maze for my eyes to trace. So I won't hesitate no more, no more, it cannot wait, I'm yours. And through timeless words in priceless pictures, we'll fly like birds not of this earth, and tides they turn and hearts disfigure but that's no concern when we're wounded together. And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts, but it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it...
