You always think my hair looks perfect
   No matter how or whether I bother to put it up
   "So long and beautiful"
   Even when I haven't washed it in three days
 
   It's addictive how you like me more than I do
   Never figured that was possible
   Not that I mind or anything...
    
   When you freeze in mid-sentence
   And it takes me forever to quit staring at you long enough
   To ask what's wrong
   You tell me again
   That I must have the greenest eyes you've ever seen
   Even though they really look grey in this light
   And it's ecstacy
   Only legal
   
   Come outside
   Lie on the grass with me at dusk
   Show me Taurus again
   So we can laugh at how little it resembles the bull
    
   When we don't go inside till morning
   When there are ladybugs crawling in our hair
   When the mosquitoes suck every last drop of blood from your ankles
   When you don't mind
   As long as they didn't get me
    
   That's when you're everything
   That's when you can't let me go
   Because what if you're not really there?
   Because what if you leave?
   And I freeze and cry and go into convulsions?
   Because what if that's how much of a drug you are to me?
    
   If I told you it made me high
   To know that if I fell asleep in your arms
   You'd carry me to your bed and sleep on the couch
   Would you laugh at me?
   Or would you hold me until I did fall asleep
   And prove me right once more?
    
   Greeting the dark with an aching jaw
   From smiling all day
   From being with you
   Waking up with it hurting more
   From smiling all night
   From just dreaming of you
    
   This is what has me sucked in
   This is what has me by the neck
   This is what draws me back to you
   Knows my secrets and threatens to tell the world
   But I can keep it quiet
    
   I can kiss you and make it forget
   I can kiss you and make it leave
   I can kiss you.
    
   How's that for an addiction?
