These Electric Feelings
by Michael Doyle

It is once, maybe twice
Your head starts reeling
It's easy to pay the price
Getting lost in these electric feelings

You know you've found the right one
And that the search is finally done
It's not like you'll evade the snares
But you cannot be anything but fair

Everyone has their pick
They might reach it quick
Or they might reach it slow
But in the end, we all know

The words come like a chokehold
Of that something special told
It's a feeling you must keep going on
And your pulse rate is beating strong

All the emotions fall into right place
Somewhere between my leather and your lace
It's that vital point where we start to melt
Giving in to the feelings that are already felt

It's that semi-cryptic point of empathy
Knowing that not everyone will necessarily be happy
But it's not about living for the sympathy
It's more the need to know that you really feel me

Here in this modernistic age
Life is a flash that turns its page
It moves at an artificially fast pace
And all we can hope for is our best end of race

Listening to each other's hearts talking
Watching ourselves as if feelings walking
Doing the best that we are capable
To make peace at feeling a bit inter-changeable

At least, that is, to a certain degree
Refusing the chains but loving for free
Until we are unable to get enough of one another
Are we ready, babe, to truly love each other?
