Punish me—I've been feeling too much,
I'm out of line for thinking about you all the time.
I just cannot help it but once my mind starts,
it ends up communicating all this to my heart,
and once my heart gets going—that's when I know
it's time to be locked up because I cannot be stopped.

So break out the handcuffs, grab the rope,
find a room to throw me in and lock the door,
I don't care what you do with the key—I'm no longer safe,
I'll keep coming for you, I'll keep confessing my love,
I'll do anything for you, until you wish I had never
learned your name, felt your pain, knew you at all.

But can I be blamed for your heart is so kind and sweet?
I've developed a sweet tooth, but it can only be satisfied by you,
and I do not mean to be so forward, but I am needing my fill,
my mind just will not be silent—not until...
I have a taste, of your lips, of your tender embrace...

You make me feel like a little girl
with a crush on her next door neighbor--
always in sight, always nearby...
but not quite sure how to make the magic happen,
just knowing your presence makes me feel alive...

I've always been afraid of fire
but right now, I am longing to be burned...
My life before you felt like a world of gray
and now that you've presented all this color
I'm mesmerized and wanting more...

So punish me—push me away
Tell me you hate me, you don't want me,
make me cry until I can no longer breathe,
because I feel like I haven't been feeling anything
until suddenly now I am feeling everything
and I just don't know what to do...

I'm crazy
slowly going crazy
in love
with you...
I'm in a weird funk.

Have you ever...
felt so much it physically pained you?

It made you want to cry
pull out your hair...

but it made you feel alive...
so alive....

but at the same time...
was slowly burning you to death...


It's amazing--
but I know my light is like a comet
and slowly I will become frozen again...

so let me enjoy the craziness while I can.

Oh wow, Cass.
Just. Uhm. Wow.

This is just passion-filled, to the brim, over-filling and seeping into my veins. I have goosebumps, seriously. This is just fantastic.

I know that feeling. It's just as painful as it can be empowering. Use it to your advantage! Hehe.
