Giving in to temptation

I’m being honest when I say
That it simply stands alone
That feeling that I start to feel
That penetrates to the bone

It infects my heart and stops my brain
And I forget to think
And passion fuels my every move
And I simply cease to blink

I know from the past that it is wrong
The temptation that I feel
But when my heart is screaming yes
How can I possibly heel?

I put my foot down to the floor
And push a little harder
I’d probably hit my own best friend
To get a little farther

But temptation is a two way street
And my heart just doesn’t matter
But I don’t notice up until
The rubber can’t get flatter

And I am sitting all alone
Backwards in the grass
Saying “Well that was stupid”
It happens in a flash

You’d think that now I’ve learned my lesson
And won’t try that again
But you’re forgetting who I am
Passion doesn’t end

So next time I approach that turn
I promise I won’t slow
I’ll lock the brakes, I’ll spin the wheels
‘Cause all I think is “GO!”
