Black Cocaine

[Chorus]
you hit me like black cocaine

[Verse 1]
i don’t mind the nature of our meetings
i’m the one who’s courting you
but lately i’ve been having trouble sleeping
i guess your just too strong a brew

but i meet you at the coffee shop underdressed a proper slob
hold the sugar lollipop i’m sweet enough now
but a windbag full of cliches ready for a chin wag at the first taste t
hen i get nervous like a first date and need to come down

[pre-chorus]
and i’m so high but it’s okay
cause i don’t care my mouth keeps burning
and i’m cross eyed but i’m slow brained
cause without you the cogs stop turning so

(chorus)
hit me like black cocaine

[Verse 2]
the movies in my head just keep repeating
each one’s a turning of the screw
you magnify the sound til i'm competing
with twenty different points of view
and it could just be my constitution making us rotten union
lucidness over confusion's all i’m craving
maybe i’m taking you wrong but i gotta run quick hitting that john
then i get a pen write seven new songs and none worth saving cause

[pre-chorus]
and i’m so high but it’s okay
cause i don’t care my mouth keeps burning
and i’m cross eyed but i’m slow brained
cause without you the cogs stop turning so

(chorus)
hit me like black cocaine
