#VERSE
I’m inspired by the text message you sent today
Three hearts, doughnut, eggplant—well, what can I say
Once again, you’ve inspired me to write you a song
‘Bout how you call our back-and-forth sexy texts “lover’s ping pong”
#PRE-CHORUS
Now we meet in the parking lot for our dinner date
You said that being on time would earn me an “A”
With texts like you send, no way I’d be late
#VERSE
I’m inspired by the glow of flame on your lips
Reflections of candles on your glossy lipstick
Fire engine red with whispers of sex
Igniting my hunger, “What’s next? What’s next?”
#PRE-CHORUS
And right here in this romantic restaurant
You’ve served more innuendo-topped desserts than I can count
Now you joke you’ll climb the table, and dare me to pounce
#CHORUS
And, oh my god
I’m inspired by…
Inspired by your humor
Inspired by your eyes
When we lie down in love
Songs ideas echo our mood
Every breath an inspiration
Inspired by…
Inspired by…
Inspired by… you
#VERSE
Now you’re inspired by the words of these verses I wrote
You’re moved to tears, choked up, a lump in your throat
You hold the spheres of Earth and Moon in your hands
Lyrics encoded in glances only I understand
#PRE-CHORUS
You’ve got me climbing a stairway made of clouds
I’d write another verse, but we’re singing too loud
#CHORUS
And, oh my god
I’m inspired by…
Inspired by your earthquakes
And how the afterglow makes you cry
When we light up in laughter
Lyrics giggle along, too
Every breath an inspiration
Inspired by…
Inspired by…
Inspired by… you
#BRIDGE
Every moment of life hands me new melodies
Songs run wild from my soul, like flood waters run to silent seas
I’m inspired by art, news, and tv shows
Inspired by a cool drink from the garden hose
Inspired by tastes of Brazilian pastries
Inspired by stories that blow in on the breeze
Inspired by thoughts that I think in the shower
Inspired by love and its untamed power
But none of it would happen without you in my life
You are the wellspring of everything I’m inspired by

#VERSE
We’re distracted by the sound of a knock at the door
Seems there’s no place for lovers to hide anymore
We ignore the disturbance, and dance into the storm
Gentle rains, pounding thunder, forceful cold, silky warm
#VERSE
Give me a moment to catch my breath
I’m swimming in lyrics in the deep ocean’s depth
Every kiss, every touch, every taste lights the fire
Takes me back to those lips, and those looks that inspire
#CHORUS
And, oh my god
I’m inspired by…
Inspired by new things
You said we should try
When we lie down in lightning
Thunderous choruses sing true
Every breath an inspiration
Inspired by…
Inspired by…
Inspired by… you
#CHORUS
After the passion
Emotions pour out
May the songs that I write
Leave you with no doubt
Every lyric I pen
Every passionate tune
Every breath that I take
Is inspired by you

But none of it would happen without you in my life
You are the wellspring of everything I’m inspired by

Inspired by the kindness of gestures you do
I’m always, always, always
Inspired by you
