21St Century Casanova

I can't slow down
Can't tell you what I feel like
Sitting still I'm still a blur like a Richter still life
Richter scale my heart requires extra numerals
Higher than the highest so my love is non-computable it's mutual
I know the world loves me baby I can feel it
I can open up my eyes and let the sun reveal it
But when I do it's 5 o'clock and everybody's sleeping
Can't contain the excitement in my brain
So I'm keeping company with the old timers coffee at the diner

Talking shop about the Patriots and 49ers
I'm grateful like a preacher
Devoted like a great teacher
Let my lover know I love her every time I reach her
I'm the feature presentation in the theatre of love dreaming lucid
Cupid shooting arrows from above
Got so many lodged in my heart it's a miracle
I'm not in bed at the hospital critical
Instead I'm dropping pennies from the pinnacle
Wanna dance?
If romance is a crime I'm a criminal

21st century Casanova
Don't you know romantic from my head to the tips of my toes
Kiss the curve of my girl's neck
And make her eyes roll way back in her head like Emily Rose
Frozen in another century
Poetic prose flowing easy from the pen so everybody knows
Share my story like a beggar
Read my journal at the shows
Well my heart's tell-tale like Edgar Allan Poe's
Not supposed to show another whatcha got beneath the surface
Tell the truth
People laugh but it's just because they're nervous
I could hide my sensitivity but baby what's the purpose?
Lonely people sending hate
I'm writing love notes in cursive

It ain't like I ain't never had my love turned down
I'm the king of pitching woo but heavy lies the crown
Had my share of witches' brew
Ditches threw me off track
Got a knife wound or two in the middle of my back
But I gave a few too
So I'm not tryin' to spin it
Like I always did right by my girl cause I didn't
All I'm saying is I'm staying where the light of love can hit me
Tried to hide in darkness
But the suit doesn't fit me
I would rather love and suffer risk my heart falling asunder
Feel the flutter and the wonder of another endless summer
If the other option underneath the sun is takin' cover

Like another sucker too afraid to fall and rediscover
The beauty
The struggle
The color all around
The thunder
The lightning
The brightness
The sound
Found myself in the gutter a couple years ago
But I'm resilient as hell so I never stop the flow
I don't never stop the show
I don't never pull the curtain do it well
Far as I can tell 3 things are certain
One invented by man
The others come from god above: death, taxes, and me being in love
