Perhaps it's a state of limerence. Maybe it's just what we all feel when confronted by someone or something that's semiotic to our notions of ultimate desire.
lyrics
I'd give up my last ounce of courage
Sacrifice all that I have
Lay down my only possession
For the pleasure of holding your hand
I'd do what it takes to be with you
Die for the love in your heart
Bleed from the wounds of a love so pure
For the flower of joy that you are
You don't talk with pride or with envy
Nothing about you is bad
Like water to the thirsty
And sanity to the mad
I'd love to hold you forever
To kiss you and look at your face
Made with oh so much beauty
And such love and such grace
You are my kind of woman
The kind that can sing and can dance
So end my lonely survival
By starting a loving romance
Mine is not the decision
You are the one to decide
If I am to keep running
Or if into your arms I can hide
