My lover the floodlight

I've never been much for using words as a conduit.

I've never been a great boy, but boy, I'll put my mind to it;

and oh, you startled me so bad, but maybe when I'm done with this song, you'll be gone. Or, maybe you'll be drawn to it.

Girl, you know better than to win me with a bracelet.

I'm a sucker for the smart ones, but boy, I wasn't braced for this -

A drop-dead, turn your head "10" with proper intellect

I am sensitive.

I was meant for this.

I saw the way that you were workin' the sunlight.

Ivory skin, it paints a picture as our bodies collide

in the sun, where I'm from, just to make sure that we're alive.

In the rain, you're an angel, in a snowstorm you're a sunbeam.

Cause love came out of nowhere and drove away the dark in me.

I walked along the shoreline, where the elements collide.

It made me think of alcohol, how odd, but how the different sides of drunks, of drunks, and pretty girls collapse in a caleidoscope of colors and lies; their eyes were blind, I guess we tried.

Girl, you know you're weaker in your head than in your heart.

And I understand your "weaker-thans", but weak is sure a start.

I'll carry you, I'll marry you, and girl I'll be sure to bury you.

We're electric,

we're a testament.

I saw the way that you were workin' the sunlight.

Ivory skin, it paints a picture as our bodies collide

in the sun, where I'm from, just to make sure that we're alive.

In the rain, you're an angel, in a snowstorm you're a sunbeam.

Cause love came out of nowhere, and drove away the dark in me.
