What it feels like

Nothing in the world comes close to it-
Maybe the runner running her last mile,
maybe the person taking a hit of his favorite drug,
this is where the animal comes alive,
when you avoid dying and the high is indescribable,
when you release yourself,
when she helps you get what you want,
and your favorite song is playing on the radio
and everything makes sense,
you release yourself,
she helps get you what you want,
you lose control
and your favorite song is playing on the radio
and everything makes sense...
