Liquid Courage

Liquid Courage

Our eyes are locked
and I've lost the combination
and when you bit that lip
I was aching in anticipation

Finishing a drink,
I swear it had courage at the bottom
Because I made my way to you
and the words I had planned out
Well... you could say I forgot 'em.

"Get"

Now here is where my brain started running
I was looking for the words
but nothing intelligent was coming
So I went with instinct,
because I was primal

"Up"

and it was final,
You rose from your seat
and started to move our feet
to the dance floor
You held me like missed me
Yet this was the first time we met.

Our bodies were now like our eyes,
Locked
and the way you let your hips
Rock
I swear my drink had courage at the bottom
But it didn't help me remember your 9 digits
I forgot 'em

The First Lesson

I guess somewhere between I and Miss
before forever was invited
there was some imbalance
like chemistry
we were missing that positive charge

You had me wrapped up in your science
and through compliance I was hoping to share more then
the atomic number of 8
that we'd be able to mediate
maybe meet in the middle and share some ionic bonds

But it seems like we weren't covalent
because what was taken from you and I
well, that would lead us to history
and to understand the present we'd have to study the past
and while you want to stay lost in pages
I'm more focused on writing them
