maybe I can make this all a game
train my brain to forget your name
try in vain to make my calm remain
turn my thoughts off, but they turn on again
sometimes my thoughts stay ruler-straight
then something leads my thoughts astray
to ponder things like straying hands
and bodies close from night till day
I try to force my mind to hush
to believe it's plain ridiculous
that I should get the greatest rush
when reminiscing on your touch
I try to keep it to myself
not let these urges show
pretend it's not so obvious
imagine you don't know
attempt to keep my game-face on
not let you see my cards
avert my gaze so you don't see
you've got me seeing stars
train my brain to forget your name
try in vain to make my calm remain
turn my thoughts off, but they turn on again
sometimes my thoughts stay ruler-straight
then something leads my thoughts astray
to ponder things like straying hands
and bodies close from night till day
I try to force my mind to hush
to believe it's plain ridiculous
that I should get the greatest rush
when reminiscing on your touch
I try to keep it to myself
not let these urges show
pretend it's not so obvious
imagine you don't know
attempt to keep my game-face on
not let you see my cards
avert my gaze so you don't see
you've got me seeing stars
