How could I ever grow up
If I was never a child in the first place?
I'm that person with no rhythm.
No shame; no curtains to cover my face.

I'm running into things head first.
I don't think about anything but my thirst.
And I get full pretty quickly, and that's my curse.
My love for you could fit in my smallest purse.

My Venus is in Sagittarius.
And I have nothing else to add;
Nothing left to say.
Tell me where exactly you want to go,
And I'll show you the way.

Do my verses show how childish I am?
I'm a little slow because I'm fighting the inertia.
If you want to know more
Just look at my taste in men.
I don't feel alive;
Give me a heart attack;
A ten out of ten.

I'm running into things head first.
I don't think about anything but my thirst.
And I get full pretty quickly, and that's my curse.
My love for you could fit in my smallest purse.

A slow burner is one heck of a fast learner.
Do all the mistakes gradually
Until you make none.
Later screw it up because you miscalculated.
Two beans in the same pod as if we were fated.

I wasn't present in the room.
Did you feel my absence?
It doesn't matter what you say.
I listen to my sixth sense.
I'm okay, and ready to fall in defence.
Will we grow up If we were never children?
Let me tell you, it depends.
Do you feel the same?
It seems like you know the steps of the dance.
Can this be done without holding hands?

I'm running into things head first.
I don't think about anything but my thirst.
And I get full pretty quickly, and that's my curse.
My love for you could fit in my smallest purse.

And I have to ask, what's love?
Getting down gritty with no glove?
Raw, but I like my steak well done.
Seasoned well with a pun, or two.
