Head First

You say you're not playing games
but you're playing with me
the things you say when I'm here
& how you act when I leave
I can't tell what you're doing
just you like what you're doing to me
I'm not sure how to spin it
but my hearts already in it
it's a little late for a warning
the edge of the cliff came and went
& I ran right off it

I dove into you
like a kid in a pool
feeling brave after school
head first in the water
no thoughts of danger
or what I'm jumping into
I can only seem to think of you.

If you'd been labeled hazardous
I think I'd still be right here
Not that I'm looking for trouble
I'm just drawn to your atmosphere
You can get my mind to quiet
You're like my own private island
but you're nothing like a hiding place
I've never felt more exposed in a space

I dove into you
like a kid in a pool
feeling brave after school
head first in the water
no thoughts of danger
or what I'm jumping into
I can only seem to think of you

I can't help it I'm spiraling  
something about your energy
gets to me, you get to me
I don't mind the loss of control
long as you're there when I let go
I won't really lose hold
you get to me

I dove into you
like a kid in a pool
feeling brave after school
head first in the water
no thoughts of danger
or what I'm jumping into
I can only seem to think of you
