off-balance.

i cling tightly to your arms
begging you, don't let go
tugging on your sleeve
'cause i can't reach your heart
don't leave me here alone.

your eyes won't meet my own
those soulful wells run dry
while mine are overflowing, flooded
with salty-sweet saline tears.

you taste them in my desperate kiss
my voice a hopeful plea
a cry for love, full of defeat
for you still turn away
resisting the pull of my hands.

so strong is my grip
so persistent my limbs
wrapped around yours.
nearing strangulation
you struggle for control.



try to throw me down, away from you
but lose your balance
'cause i'm part of you now
& you know you're in love.

deny it, refuse it, push it away
you'll lose your balance.
i'm part of you now.

shove my hands back to me
untangle my legs from yours
separate your waist from my grasp
try to walk away.

you'll lose your balance.

you'll fall.

i'm part of you now.

& you know you're in love.
& you can't get away.
