There's something happening to me, it's never hit like this before
Whenever I get close to you, I crave for more
It's not the way you look at me, it's not the fire in your eyes
But something happens when you're near, a feeling I cannot describe

I think this town's getting to me, my closest friends are all insane
Acting so blind though I still see, just need a chance to ease the pain
The pressure builds, my senses flare and I will strive to get away
And god forbid you ever see, I'm sure that I would ruin the day

Intensity overcomes me
It's like a fire at my core
And as she flies, I'll stem the tide
But I can't help from wanting more

I dream about you every night, more frequently as time moves on
I'll panic in your presence, frantic hoping I did nothing wrong
What's happening to me? Why couldn't it be someone else?
God knows what everyone would say, I daren't ask for any help

I close my eyes and fantasize, desperately wanting you to stay
Can almost taste you on my lips but left to wait another day
And when we meet, I'd love to speak but I don't know what I would say
So I sit in my own embrace and let the whole world melt away

Intensity overcomes me
It's like a fire at my core
And as she flies, I'll stem the tide
But I can't help from wanting more

Just give me a little time
To rest my head, to break a sweat
Ten minutes and I'll be fine
Just give me time and I'll be set

I have a burning feeling
Which lights me deep inside
I see her walking past
My stomach rises like a tide
Coupled with all my troubles
Right now I'm such a mess
I'm under so much pressure
I'm clearly in distress

My job is such a hassle
My friends are all insane
I need to let some steam out
I need to ease this pain
Just need a couple minutes
To clear my stormy head
God, I can't this pressure
As I lay upon my bed

The calm before the storm
Ticking on above my head
And though I'm feeling warm
I'd rather go than send you in my stead

The tension hangs like moisture
Stillspended in the air
I feel her storm is brewing
Yet I can't get out of here
A momentary lapse of reason
Temporary aria
Ten seconds of elation
To which I've been condemned

After all heavy weather
Is a rainbow in its wake
I hope to see you all later
But first for everybody's sake
I need to ease this feeling
I need to let it out
I need to stop the pleading
Or else I'm gonna shout!

The calm before the storm
Ticking on above my head
And though I'm feeling warm
I'd rather go than send you in my stead

Just give me a little time
To rest my head, to break a sweat
Ten minutes, I'll be fine
Just give me time, and I'll be set
