a hundred thoughts a minute

I have addictions 
I’m laying in my garden midnight bathing 
there’s something in my system 
something’s on the way from which I need saving 
tomorrow I have a free house
I’m thinking of inviting ten men 
there’s more chance of that 
than seeing all of my friends 
yeah it’s really quite disarming 
I’m always told that I’m their best
would you say I’m charming
or shall I just give it a rest? 
I crave better connection
it’s only human after all 
but I come with all this baggage 
the bump in the pavement which made you fall 
I try to be polite 
I’m told i’m too nice 
I try to be in charge
I’m told i’m cold as ice 
I suppose you can’t win them all 
I’ve been thinking about weddings 
meanwhile tinder has me hidden 
is it a curse or is it a blessing
that I’m over six foot tall
but the world just keeps on spinning
and I don’t think about that at all
