live like alphaville

reaching for words that faded with the firelight

forgetting my own expectations like

the balloons i didn't tie to my wrists


i feel it all

every swipe of purple lipstick

every space between my fingertips

every heartbeat ringing in my ear

especially the right one

the one with the sweet nothings

and the smiles you had to hear to believe


hearts beating

always beating

heads beating

always beating


never gets old

never getting old


always eighteen

always scraping my knees

always rolling the windows down

keep the music loud and the laughs louder


because

i am vital

alive




because

peter pan's got nothing on me.
