Heart Strings

Don't touch me
Not in the sense 
I want nothing to do with you
But don't touch me
Cause I'm feeling some kinda way about you.
Where don't means do
I'm about to come unglued 

Get away from me,
You're giving me that
Could this be the one type vibe

Can I stay with you in fantasy?
I could be Alice, mapquest 
wonderland, be my direction 
to curb this hesitation 

Be my make believe 
Oh, it feels like a dream
Stop touching  it
I don't want another audition 

I ought not,
but I left the door unlocked
Positioned the headboard 
to keep the neighbors up all night 
Sometimes a girl just needs
a good sleep tight. Still

Don't touch it
Warning yet tempting 
I should when I shouldn't 
I do when I don't 
I'm so confused and need you 
to work it out comprehensively 
Do me like an insurance policy.

Face down, muffled sounds.
Pillow catches tears

Don't touch it
My heart is tied to strings 
& you'll make more
 than just my body move
while the neighbors become
 insanely familiar hearing you say my name...
