Failing and Falling

captain, take me

my words are failing fast

I’m certain of this thing I know

there’s little that should last

but here we are, somehow entwined

a tangled mess of pleasure

and i could lie here wrapped in you

and stay here lost forever

I was not in search of happiness

when i stumbled into you

but here i am, a silly man

bewildered that it’s true

so pinch me, squeeze me

hold me tight

and do not let me go

I’m falling hard

for you tonight

i thought that you should know
