2. Passion I like you I want to know you Let’s build something
When we finish building, let’s move into it
We can go slowly
We have all the time in the world
Nobody’s stopping us
It’s just you and I
Hand in hand, heart in heart
We’re a team
I’m standing here
Building you up
You’re standing here
Building me up
Move slowly into my heart
Make love to it
Let your words elevate me
Love me, love me gently

3. Nonsense Nonsense they say When they talk to me
Don’t mean a thing to me.
Nonsense is all around me
Small town big house
Didn’t mean a thing to me
Nonsense when I went out and nonsense when I came in.
The same nonsense when I’m with my friends.
Can’t think right don’t your hear me
It’s the nonsense of little things that are logic.
Maybe Atlanta nonsense when they talk about the club Magic. Making money nonsense now isn’t that just tragic.
Nonsense is all around I hear it through this small town.
Maybe nonsense is just all round.

4. You’re Morals VS Mine Everyone’s morals are different
although most peoples are statistical
Mine are circumstantial
I believe that you should always do
what you think is right.
No matter the circumstance
Whether your religious, or just what you were told was right
Do what you think
and makes you happy
If it turns out to not be the right thing then there’s a reason for that
You’re not supposed to live with the opposite sex until marriage for religious reasons.
Well I believe that sometimes you need to know how the living arrangements will be like
Before you jump into a life-long commitment like that
Although some are statistical

8. What is poetry? “A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.” -Robert frost “Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.” -Edgar ALLAN POE “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.” -T.S ELLIOT
