Put my name at the top of your lips.
This is the last time I'm asking you why

Or it's gonna go down in flames.

And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch,

Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain.
'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Taylor Swift

My shadow and I, only we two.

Even my shadow forsakes me.
Alas, alas!
I am forlorn!

Narayana Murthy
The more that you say
The less I know
Wherever you stray
I follow
Begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans
That's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans
That's my man
Taylor Swift
