Crazy and a Little Distorted

[Verse 1]
The room is spinning in slow motion,
Candlelight dancing on the wall,
You smile like you’ve got some secret potion,
And I’m just trying not to fall.
The vinyl crackles, the trumpet sighs,
Something blue beneath your eyes,
You whisper, “baby, let’s get lost tonight,”
And I can’t tell wrong from right.

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m crazy, and a little distorted,
Drunk on the way you move, so slow.
Reality’s been slightly contorted,
Since you played your sweet solo.
We’re off-beat, off-key, but I adore it,
A love that’s wild and unreported.
Yeah, I’m crazy… and a little distorted.

[Verse 2]
You pour another round of trouble,
Say the truth’s just smoke and wine,
Your laugh hits me in double,
Like a sax note out of time.
I’m floating somewhere between sin and grace,
In the halo of your face,
I’m lost inside your melody,
And there’s no escape for me.

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m crazy, and a little distorted,
Tangled in your late-night blues.
Every line of yours sounds imported
From a dream I didn’t choose.
You’ve got me bent, but I can’t ignore it,
Sweet madness — I can’t afford it.
Yeah, I’m crazy… and a little distorted.

[Bridge]
(Soft piano + brushed drums interlude)
You say love’s just jazz — no rules, no bars,
Just improv hearts beneath the stars.
So play me wrong, but play me true,
I’ll lose my mind in the key of you.

[Final Chorus]
‘Cause I’m crazy, and a little distorted,
Your rhythm’s got me hypnotized.
My sanity’s been slightly thwarted,
By the smoke behind your eyes.
So pour that moonlight, don’t you hoard it,
Let’s get lost and never sort it…
Yeah, I’m crazy —
Crazy and a little distorted.
