Sparks fly, it's like electricity
I might die when I forget how to breathe
You get closer and there's nowhere in this world
I'd rather be
Time stops like everything around me
It's frozen and nothing matters
But these few moments when you open my mind
To things I've never seen
'Cause when I'm kissing you my senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place, you're all that it takes
My doubts fade away when I'm kissing you
When I'm kissing you it all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one? Should I really trust?
Crystal clear it becomes when I'm kissing you
Past loves, they never got really far
Walls up, made sure I guarded my heart
And I promise I wouldn't do this
'Til I knew it was right for me
But no one, no guy that I met before
Could make me feel so right and secure
And have you noticed I lose my focus?
And the world around me disappears
'Cause when I'm kissing you my senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place, you're all that it takes
My doubts fade away when I'm kissing you
When I'm kissing you it all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one? Should I really trust?
Crystal clear it becomes when I'm kissing you
I've never felt nothing like this
You're making me open up
No point even trying to fight this
It kinda feels like it's love
'Cause when I'm kissing you my senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place, you're all that it takes
My doubts fade away when I'm kissing you
When I'm kissing you it all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one? Should I really trust?
