Just Chemistry

It's true I was

standing there crying

but only because

of that song...

The one where they're

both tired fighting

about things that

made love go wrong.

That's when I saw you,

underneath an old tree.

Those beautiful eyes,

looking deep into me.

Feeling so naked,

you looked in my soul.

Like you know what I'm thinking,

my heart shivers cold.

Unable to move,

you reached deep inside.

touching all of the feelings

that I try to hide.

When you held out your hand,

and said "I understand",

"Come walking, just talk to me,

while I hold your hand."

My heart you were holding

tenderly in your hand.

The moon watched me falling,

not wanting to land.

I was so lonely,

but how did you know?

Though everyone was dancing,

I needed to go?

Is it just chemistry

between our lips?

Or something electric

in your fingertips?

I know something inside of me

shakes when we touch,

making me think I'll scream

"I love you so much".

If you could see

through my eyes

then you would know,

It's not just chemistry.

The sunrise caught us playing,

not just holding hands...

I thought I should go early,

passion changed all my plans.

We were just going dancing,

maybe drive by the lake.

The sight and the smell of you

made me tremble and shake.

The sound of your laughter,

the scent of your hair.

Makes me think I'm dreaming

somehow floating on air.

I'm drunk with your beauty,

consumed by your charms.

So damned delirious

rolling here in your arms.

Is it just chemistry

between our lips?

Or something electric

in your fingertips?

I know something inside of me

shakes when we touch,

making me think I'll scream

"I love you so much".

If you could see

through my eyes

then you would know,

It's not just chemistry.
