Limbic System

Could I be lost now, would I fail?
My train of thought gone off your rails
Could I feel the warmth of the summer sand
Or the kindness in your hand?

Would I forget my own name
Without yours to remind me?
Would my pulse slow if not for yours to align me?
For a life time I’ve been here
Never knowing you were there
Long way down when this world fell
Laid my heart on the only steady ground

Was it on you?
Was it on you?
It was you
It was you

How would I know when I’ve had enough?
You kept me going when I’d given up
And my breath, when my movements stopped
You pushed my lungs when it was too much

Was it ever this often?
What if you told me or I told myself
To make believe there’s no problem
I keep little pieces of you beneath the darkest of spaces
Where no one can see them but me
Who’s gonna wake me up
And who’s gonna get me high
Then tell me I’ve had enough?
Bring me closer to the heights
Then tell me that I should run
I’d be lost without your warning
What could I feel if not your touch?

Long way down when this world fell
Laid my heart on the only steady ground

Was it on you?
Was it on you?
It was you
It was you
