Got nothing in my hands that I can offer 'cept warmth
But I'm worried if you ever hold it, you would be scorched
'Cuz I'm a sucker for love, rather easy to excite
Just another violent heart in need of some peace of mind
I'm not just in it for our bodies to become one
But I wouldn't mind if I ever was your loved one
It's kind of a conundrum, the same fertile imagination
Is the cultivating ground for hesitation
Thoughts lost on the beat of the drums
I feel my body burning hotter than the heat of the sun
When we're face to face, written scripts incinerate
Every dialogue and logical thought disintegrates
As I find myself deep in space, giving chase
To a bluefire comet whose tail illuminates
This dark, empty place where I float with no aim
In this soundless vacuum, I call for your name
[Hook]
Pick up from my hints 'cause
Love has a melody, sung in sweet subtleties
This song is a gift from me to you
Forgotten sensations
What's lost in the memory, comes back eventually
This song is a gift from me to you
[Verse II]
I wanna take you on a lovebound journey
You're a real life Celine, but I can't play your Jesse
I'm more like the poet sweet-talking you for pennies
Hiding my true feelings in cryptic entries
You're the Halley in my orbit, a once-in-life moment
I should carpe diem on it and yet I'm afraid to blow it
So I stay frozen, gazing at your bright silhouette
Don't have the answers to this self-imposed riddle yet
Too afraid to see the end of the puzzle
If I ain't gonna be in it, so I deliberately miss a piece
Now you even got me doubting on my non-belief
Asking God not to make this story bittersweet
But I'm aware that if I want it, gotta stand the hurt
The gravity of a confession pulls me back to Earth
Still no resolve, but a crystal clear aim
In this crowd of lost souls, I call for your name
[Hook]
