You take over my mind.
I can't finish a thought.
My vision turns to blind.
And I can't connect the dots.
I'm helpless and I'm stuck.
On how it feels here next to you.
I do believe that this is dangerous.
But I can't stop it.
From the heat of your lips.
To the look in your eyes.
I just can't resist enough for me to find time.
I'm gonna turn off my phone.
I'm gonna turn off the lights.
I don't want a distraction from a distraction.
And I'm always thinking about it.
Whether it's wrong or right.
I just can't stop it.
