Carried Away

I thought of you for months with no intent to stop
 And taught myself old songs I might never play for you
 I don't want to forget this flash of what you are
 And what you mean to me now when I have everything to lose
 Your face felt like a kiss those times I was alone
 I sang to you more than you might ever know
 I made a mistake - I made a fraction known
 And the whole thing inside me screwed and twisted and burned
 I got carried away
 I just want to scream how much that I adore you
 I swallow it whole and I choke on the thought
 In brief and passing moments - Your hand against mine lightly
 Where you begin, I feel the end of me
 I got carried away
 I push against the shame - I feel too much to lie
 My whole life I've tried to diminish and deny
 But I can love you from a distance if that's what I'm meant to do
 I don't know if it will last, but it feels like pain that I'm supposed to
 I got carried away
 I got carried away
