Lost Again

A birthday gift I never got around to giving… a song for a long lost something or another.

Caught up
In this foolish game
And dumb enough to think I could escape
Before the flames engulfed me

But I’m lost in you
Blissed anew
A captive to a theory
A hope I have to hold onto

What I wouldn’t give to give myself to you
All the things I’d be to be there next to you
Are you all you seem? No one could be so good
But you?

To hell with consequence
And a level head
And as for my surrender
I think I’ll choose pursuit instead

A taste sweet
Like something I’d forgotten
For so long

Now that this has happened, why should we pretend?
If it’s only fleeting, why wait for the end?
If for just a moment—can’t you see—I’m dying
To feel alive again

What I wouldn’t give to give myself to you
All the things I’d be to be there next to you
Are you all you seem? No one could be so good
As you
