I bolted into you faster than Jackie Joyner Kersie and my mind’s been on a treadmill ever since; I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you;
I keep chasing this vision of your silhouette strolling off sweetly into the horizon. That’s got me feeling a bit more human lately, medical grade and champagne help me formulate the thoughts of you I can’t explain —
I pace the guts of hollow rooms filled to the brim with tension in anticipation, contemplating your greatness and etching my sins into the skin of paper. It’s like my pen grew feet - and
I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you. How many times have I took to the fields of my mind to let my thoughts of you run wild and free, like
Bounds and leaps from mountain peaks with promises of flight,
Can we get much higher than this?
Can we run into the sun like newfound God and Goddess?
I sprint to conclusions of happy endings my BB&J-
And I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you, like marathon, like nonstop, like a stallion in full blown gallop happily off the edge of the cliff, and if the end does come, well, I’d be willing to fall for you again, just to reincarnate and run into you again, my soul once more finds a beautiful friend and sparring partner in Heart to heart combat, I battle the pace you create but I can’t fake the effect you make, yuh.
No lie, you got my heart beat, my heart Beats 3x
Faster, please pass the baton backwards if you have to honey, but in the meantime, Ima let you run it, cuz you should already know...
I swear I’ve ran lap after lap around this empty room in pursuit of beautiful thoughts of you, my BB&J
