The Likes Of Me
(C. Mason)

You're lightning in a bottle
Inviting me to drink.
Already at full throttle,
I hesitate to think.

At best I'm ordinary,
At worst I'm six feet small,
So meeting you is scary;
I've got too far to fall.

I never knew anybody like you
I never knew anybody.
I never knew anybody like you
Who liked the likes of me.

You're dangling from a wire
And baiting me to leap
The way a savvy liar
Insists her love's for keeps.

You see I'm not your equal,
You hear I'm short of breath.
Desire turning lethal, 
I jump toward my death.

I never knew anybody like you
I never knew anybody.
I never knew anybody like you
Who liked the likes of me.
