I mean it

When I say I love you
I mean you save me from damnation
When I say maybe
I mean the weight of gravity will crush
When I say I'll see you there
I mean it would take a freight train bearing down atop me

When you forget
I forgive you not really I fragment
When you want
I want not really I inspect
When you jump
I follow not really I lose

When we're together
Peas pods it's comfortable
When we project
Deer headlights it's awkward
When we arrive
Home sweet it's safe

If I ever lose feeling
Nail me to the floor
If you ever spin wildly
I'll chronicle your fall
If we ever cry
We'll make sure we mean it

Read this while listening to Macy Gray's "The Id." Does it cheapen the notion that this verse would make a good song?
