Enlighten Me - Jaymay

in my mind i write you letters all the time

somehow i never get the pen to paper

and in my life my words always rhyme

and it’s a shame i dont hate her or blame her

look at that im 29

and not much has changed since the last time we danced

and im good, im good i swear to god im fine

im just scared to death to take a chance

i think youre crazier than me

i think youre crazy as can be

and it frightens me so enlighten me

i got your note about the day the girl fell --

a five story window i dont know too well

and i never wrote you back (cant you tell?)

that in my mind the image just climbs

i spent too long with the wrong kinds of men

one went to iraq, came back, but fled again

and i think of them — i do, now and then

it only reminds me, that’s all behind me

i think youre crazier than me

i think youre crazy as can be

and it frightens me, so enlighten me

the things in this life we’re striving to get

are the same as those finding us fools of regret

i remember clearly the day we met

cause your voice was crystal and your hair was so gold

the need for new love — it’s loyalty to an old

though i don’t believe it’s what i’m being told

remember on the platform we stood in the cold?

i wonder how we’ll stand it, one day when we’re old.

..

will you still be crazy about me?

will you still be crazy as can be?

cause it frightens me enlighten me

now whod ever guess one day we’d cross feet

the corner where houston and essex street meet

and whod ever guess youd envision our kid

in the back of a car drivin over a bridge

i dont know how much more i’ll take of all this

do we come apart or do we join at the hip?

or do we both flip a coin;

heads or tails — tell me quick —

heads means let’s say tails says walk away!

i think youre crazy, i think youre crazier than me

i think youre crazy as can be

and it frightens me enlighten me

time passes on and we pick up the pen

tho we barely write a word before we put it down again

im asking myself aint the sole intention

to be riddled with love without any question?

it’s time we give the lunatic business arrest

you’re borderline romantic at worst i guess

i made a mistake i got it all wrong

it’s me whos insane but for the sake of my song

i made you crazier than me

i may be crazy as can be

and it frightens mes so enlighten me

i write you letters all the time in my mind

i write you letters all the time in my mind

i write you letters all the iime in my mind

i write you letters.
