I need you to pick my brain
Leave my heart alone
Let me speak rivers of wit and scorn
And love and poetry
Everything I'm capable of
Let me never stop
Lend your ear to me, forever
I'll leave your heart alone.
Take me with you wherever you go
Inside the alleys of your mind
Inside the realms where you hide
I'll let you speak until your voice scrubs off your tongue
I'm here, I'll be here
Every word you speak I'll steal and store inside my soul.
If you hadn't been a poet or a scientist
If you hadn't been the man you are
I would have tossed your words away
Forgotten your name
Your face
But you picked my brain tonight
I've got a taste of it now.
Hunger has never been more romantic,
It's amazing how I want to be your disciple
And lover
All at once
Perhaps I can't leave your heart alone after all
It's already said and done
The moon sleeps in the sky with clouds of gray
You and I lie awake
Biting into our dreams and thoughts
Will you leave my heart alone?
I think
(I hope)
You will not.
It was only a dream You had only stopped once A glance that asked, are you alright? I could've stopped at no But I spoke for ten minutes straight Words gushing out of my lips Making them busy To forget that I can't kiss you, yet A smile danced on your face My complaints amused you, didn't they? If it were a different city afternoon A different sky A different room and a different dress I would've been angry At a man laughing at a rambling woman Instead I fell in love How did I die for an insolent grin? You made it worse A light touch of your brown fingers On my restless hands You tried to stop me but you only made me race I can't forget your face I want to chew your brain alive I want to wipe off your smirk with my lipstick I want to grab your hair and shake you until you love me back But it was only a dream, I promise, And if you ask me if I'm alright What can I do but say yes and smile?
