Above these lights wasn t the best time
To tell you just the way I feel
The river s blue makes your skin shimmer
I ll never get closer than this
If I stepped into the night air
Would your hand catch me?
You re the only reason that
Makes me think twice

You didn t say yes and you never will
I wonder how you feel
When I tell you my insides
Does it hurt bad to let me down?
So maybe were on different wavelengths here
And that s the way it will always be
I ll cross my fingers and close my moist eyes
And maybe they ll open to see your braids

If you ll excuse my honesty
You re the prettiest blade I ve ever seen
I don t want to be cut by just anyone
I need you running along my veins
If I breathe in hard enough
Maybe I ll taste your perfume
You re on my shirt all the time
And I wouldn t want that to change

W e can stay in my room; we don t need a sky
I see the sunrise in your eyes
I mean everything I ever say
And I m oh-so sorry

I ll keep the time that we held hands
The first time I felt alive
And everyone stared at us
As if we d done something right
And I ll keep those times we were close
Those were the best of my life
I hope it stays with us forever
But forever just passed me by
