Hurricane

You shimmer like the Northern Star
And I'm just the guy with the
Telescope on the ground
You're rushing like a waterfall and I'm just the
dribbling of a faucet that won't turn off
I got concrete shoes, and you're
strapped to rockets,
If it's sink or swim, then I'm swiftly drowning
I'm on the ocean floor and you're out of the atmosphere

Why do I not see this coming?
The more I try, the less you're enamored
When it all plays out, well
who was I kidding?
To say you're out of my league
doesn't start to explain it
I'm a drop of rain and
baby you're a hurricane

I whipped out the big
guns, aimed to impress,
centered those cross-hairs on your chest
crossed my
fingers, pulled the trigger
just hoping for the best
you probably wish the
bullet had caught my head
but it landed in my foot instead

Why do I not
see this coming?
The more I try, the less you're enamored
When it all plays
out, well who was I kidding?
To say you're out of my league
Doesn't start to explain it
I'm a drop of rain and
baby you're a hurricane Those chemicals made synapses fire,
made illogical seem probable
Like a cannonball,
I'm bound to soar and fall I'm just a lead balloon, you're
anti-gravitational.
And I'm out of my head

Why do I not see this coming?
When the more I try,
the less you're enamored When it all plays out,
well who was I kidding?
To say you're out of my league
doesn't start to explain it
I'm just a drop of rain and
baby you're a...

But if I had what I
want, I'd get you off
and I'd turn you on
And I'd have what I need,
to bring down a goddess
to her knees I'd sell my soul to know,
what to give to the girl who's got it all
I'd conjure the winds to blow
and knock you off of that pedestal
I'm calling your bluff,
and I bet it all so you better fold
If I don't strike gold,
what's left to give when you got it all?
