The Star

You are the star of my favorite episodes
Every line tape recorded
In my mind overexposed
How do I tell them every thing
That you, mean to me
You're a mountain on my cloud
You're electricity
When there's a lapse in my logic
And my brain doesn't connect
I just snap and I let loose with some things I'll soon regret
That's when you grab my hand
And you look me in the eye
And you force me to talk it out
Even though I'd rather not
That's why...
You are the star of my favorite episodes
Every line tape recorded
In my mind overexposed
How do I tell them every thing
That you, mean to me
You're a mountain on my cloud
You're electricity
When a list of every awkward thing I've said sticks in my head
Somehow you find a way to make me laugh out loud instead
Oh, the birds and the bees make them all weak in the knees
Every doubt I've ever had just floats away in the breeze.
That's why...
You are the star of my favorite episodes
Every line tape recorded
In my mind overexposed
How do I tell them every thing
That you, mean to me
You're a mountain on my cloud
You're electricity
If I could build the unbreakable silence
You pass through with the bull shit siren
You find the holes in my see through logic
Let's catch an airplane to the closest island
You are the star of my favorite episodes
Every line tape recorded
In my mind overexposed
How do I tell them every thing
That you, mean to me
You're a mountain on my cloud
You're electricity
You're a mountain on my cloud
You're electricity
You're a mountain on my cloud
You're electricity
