lyrics

I think I kissed the perfect lips,
but cloudy memories.
I wanna find the girl who owns those lips
and ask, if she'll "Marry me?"
You see, those very lips I kissed they said,
"Forget about me."
And I've tried, oh I've tried.
So I observe and search in hopes i'll find wait,
yours should seem
So familiar, maybe just one try.
Want her and I'll find, that tender mouth that touched mine,
soft as lighting strikes.
Your plus I'm minus.

Jumpstart my body,
surge through my veins.
I haven't been the same
since our engines ran in tune.
You pulled me into you,
what others see as actions,
a cause of chemical reactions
and I'm running out of fuel.
As I broke down and then I must have hit my head.

Those lips are gone now and it's plain to see.
My life without them has been misery.
Perhaps if I could taste you, one more time,
maybe I could fall asleep tonight.
At least for awhile, cause just seeing that mouth smile,
it reignites my soul.
You're still plus and I'm still minus.

Jumpstart my body,
surge through my veins.
I haven't been the same
since our engines ran in tune.
You pulled me into you,
what others see as actions,
a cause of chemical reactions
and I'm running out of fuel.
As I broke down and then I must have hit my head.

Cause I can't remember whose lips I had,
but now nothing could compare.
