[Verse 1]
What's your intentions, baby?
Do I drive you crazy?
Have you been honest lately?
Do you mind me sayin' "I don't know how to feel?"
Is this love even real? I don't know
No, I don't want to be alone, it's making me sentimental
The feelings I can't control, it always just fucks with my mental
It's only you that knows, I guess that you're somebody special
But I don't know, girl, I don't know-oh-woah

[Chorus]
Lately, I feel like I'm too attached, we're stuck in the moment
Not thinking 'bout how we move too fast
But I kinda like it this way
Who gives a fuck what they say?
It's you and me right now, baby (No-woah)
Can't even think, I've been losing track, I'm stuck in the middle
Start thinking 'bout how you do me like that
But I kinda like it this way
Who gives a fuck what they say?
It's you and me right now, baby, uh-huh

[Verse 2]
What you doing? (What you doing?)
And where you've been? (Where you've been?)
Did I miss a text back? Are you with your friends?
Could you tell me where you are? Don't stay too far
You know that I won't trip 'bout the time-ime
Close to nine, oh, please don't dim the lights
Can we just talk about it over at my place?
And, baby, stay the night, oh, let me make it right
And let me tell you what I wanted from that day, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Lately, I feel like I'm too attached, we're stuck in the moment (Ooh-ooh)
Not thinking 'bout how we move too fast (Oh, oh-oh)
But I kinda like it this way (Yeah)
Who gives a fuck what they say? (Yeah, yeah)
It's you and me right now, baby (No-woah)
Can't even think, I've been losing track, I'm stuck in the middle (Uh-huh)
Start thinking 'bout how you do me like that
But I kinda like it this way (Ooh)
Who gives a fuck what they say?
It's you and me right now, baby (Ooh)

[Bridge]
So, baby, tell me, would you know?
(Would you notice me if I fell apart?)
Oh, would you know?
(Would you notice me if I fell apart?)
I might be over it all, oh, could you look at me?
Think I might be getting withdrawals, why can't you look at me?
So, baby, tell me, would you know?
(Would you notice me if I fell apart?)
I can't get enough, oh, would you know?
(Would you notice me if I fell apart?)
I can't get enough of you
I might be over it all, oh, could you look at me?
Think I might be getting withdrawals, why can't you look at me, baby?
[Chorus]
Lately, I feel like I'm too attached, we're stuck in the moment
Not thinking 'bout how we move too fast
But I kinda like it this way
Who gives a fuck what they say?
It's you and me right now, baby (Yeah, yeah)
('Cause you're still on my mind)
Can't even think, I've been losing track, I'm stuck in the middle
Start thinking 'bout how you do me like that
But I kinda like it this way
Who gives a fuck what they say?
It's you and me right now, baby, uh-huh

starfall - intentions (bex acoustic cover)

A guided meditation planting seeds and setting intentions.

Lunar Nidra ~ Planting Seeds ~ Virgo New Moon

Do you sometimes find yourself scattered and all over the place?  When you set an intention for the day it makes you more focussed.   Then by repeating this intention throughout the day just let it guide your thoughts, words, and actions. 

Sarah lives in the Brahma Kumaris' centre in Leeds. She has been a meditator for the past 20 years.

Food for the soul - Set an intention for the day - Sarah Truman – 19/8/25
