lyrics

I spent two days letting you sink into my brain. I suppose deep down I knew I’d always felt this way. The affirmation started shortly after the day that I saw your face. I spent ten years telling myself that I had to fight. I had silenced all my enemies one too many times. And I never got to tell you but you changed my mind- this time.

So what are you doing here? Right back to where we started.

I just have to say, that I can’t throw this away. You can take off with your grave; I’ll still be here every day. How can we maintain our strength so powerless and separated.

I know it’s all in my head, but I hope it’s not.

Maybe you’re lovely, maybe you’re blown. Maybe you’ll trust me, maybe you won’t. I’m done with recognition, and I know you see it shows. So as they take opposition, we come crumbling down. (But you turned my world so upside down)

You feel you try and you try, but it was never enough. If we were taken to the edge where we could slowly walk up and finally say the things that I never said. But I can tell you right now that I wish I did.
Before you head down south to leave for the summer, know I’m entranced by your company, there is no other. I speak with certainty- Your blue eyes awakened me.
