Respect

I was charmed by those lips that took yet another sip from the bottle
And murmured intoxicating secrets that only I would fall for
I wanted you to free me
But I knew all to well
That you can't love somebody unless you love yourself

Something is falling
And it keeps on calling me to you
Like a solar system
You're my star and I orbit you
But we never touch
Or at least never do like we used to
Cuz space made it easy
To leave alone what should be talked through

And I'll crash to the surface
Long before you come clean
But whatever it's how we're used to behaving

The way the earth loses all of its water to the sky
I lost it for you
Respect cuz you act like a brand new guy
Every time I'm with you but you
Never lose your lust or your luster why
When I see you cuz it
Rains back down like water from the sky

My love for you
When I think of you

Something is different
I wanted your love but you're all dried up
All of my wishes
Are attention sinking in the waters of love
So why should I drown
When you're clearly sky bound
And barely even around?
Cuz I'll learn to swim
And you'll feel really dumb
I didn't stay tied down

I might write a letter
Something special for you from me
Then again maybe not
It's not something I could see you doing for me

The way the earth loses all of its water to the sky
I lost it for you
Respect cuz you act like a brand new guy
Every time I'm with you but you
Never lose your lust or your luster why
When I see you cuz it
Rains back down like water from the sky

My love for you
When I think of you
