Spark by Melodie Yvonne

I wanna feel everything all of the time
I’m taking the world and I’m making it mine
I wanna feel something on fire just like you
So I can remember I’ve got that spark too

I’d rather feel pain than plain cold-hearted apathy
Rather be crying then feeling numb comfortably
Rather be manic than barely excited
And I’m really tired of trying to hide it

Feeling so lonely’s more than I felt with him
But feeling your vibes got me all scared inside again
How am I gonna hide myself from you
When all that you are is all I want too

I wanna feel everything all of the time
I’m taking the world and I’m making it mine
I wanna feel something on fire just like you
So I can remember I’ve got that spark too

I guess it don’t matter to me ‘bout the ending
Guess it don’t matter to me if you’re smitten
‘Cause everything always works out how it’s written
And I just can’t let myself rot here just sittin’

I’d rather feel everything all of the time
Then sit here a’hidin away behind these rhymes
I’d rather feel longing from wanting to touch you
Then feel what it’d be if I let go and lost you

I wanna feel everything all of the time
I’m taking the world and I’m making it mine
I wanna feel something on fire just like you
So I can remember I’ve got that spark too

I wanna be something on fire just like you
So please just stay with me ‘til I’m on fire too
