What do you call it?
When your heart starts to swell
When your emotions grasp you
And you’re so far from hell
What do you do?
When you float off the ground
When you fly in those clouds
And you make funny sounds
Where do you stand?
When you fall up
When you can’t sink back down
When your feet can't touch the ground
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the pressure?
The everlasting anticipation
The burning desire
That fire in your soul
That you just can’t control
It jumps and sings
For that special person
So what do you call it?
Do you call it lust?
Do you call it love?
Is it just a crush?
Is it all of the above?
