Lyrics

This is Your Brain On Love

(c) 2005 Barrows / Schleunes / earRotator

Your hitting on me
Was inappropriate and wrong
But I have to admit it was I who led you on
We were heavily intoxicated that night
I was teasing you hard and I knew it was not right
I was the one downloading all those sexy songs
I was letting you sit uncomfortably close to me
I was conscious of my power and its effects on you
I could never be who I'm supposed to be

Chorus

This is your brain on love
This is my heart on ice
You're melting down
On a fire of my own device
You can't think straight
You can't think twice
I can't face myself
So now you're gonna pay the price
I don't know what you were thinking of
But this is your brain on love

Bridge
You always were a martyr
That only made it harder
I threw you a bone
And then I threw you out
I'm such a prima donna
That's why I called my mama
The trauma that's my drama's
What it's all about

(chorus)

There are times when I'm alone
And picture that night
Fantasize about what might have been
Imagine us doin' it until dawn
And it was alright
Sometimes I wish we'd both been kissed by sin
In reality we both fell down and passed out
Next morning called my mom who got offended
I was so self-righteous then we cast you out
How do you like this game I have invented?

(chorus)
