Forgetful

When I'm around you, I cannot think straight...
Or when I do, the world's upside down
And you're at my side grinning like that
And all I can think of is pulling you closer,
And holding you tighter, and poking you harder
Because your reaction is great.
We've gone back some time, dear drug of mine,
And I've only discovered the one side effect: I forget.
I forget that I have a billion things on my mind
Like meetings, appointments, reports I can't find,
I forget that you know how I think
What I feel, how I search for the answers
You keep hiding from me...
I forget to worry that I didn't stage myself well in this light
Or that "this angle looks right"
I don't worry you'll notice those scars on my skin,
Or that you'll judge the self doubt within...
I forget to humor the fears that I've spawned
But always remember the flick of he tongue.
