Smash cut to my alarm clock
We’re in a movie
This is the story of an apathetic college guy
He meets a silly white girl who he spirals into love with
She wears black and smiles with such honesty
I need to look for any possible sign at all
I hate tripping onto my own fall

Smashing my face on the pavement
Let’s move that to a zoom in, close up
Plot Conflict, Disappointment to see you walk with some other guy
The antagonist of this quote on quote love story
No standing chance to be with you
Watching you walk away
Every single day
Not a chance, Old Sport
Only hearing the echo of your laugh
What kind of **** is this?
How did I overlook this?
Someone give me a fighting chance!

Panning Shot, I try to find your usual trail
To share something with you
To make this lame-*** movie interesting
A common thing, a simple thing
Playing with your hair or taking on a dare
The end is coming soon
And I never even got a chance
To try to have you dance
For the final scene
What a wasted chase for such a pretty girl
Cut to black

i'm lost,
(no) i'm found--
s l o w l y
but
surely
becoming

I remember
the first thing
you ever said
to me.
Actually,
it may have been
the second
or third
or fourth thing,
but it's the first
that I remember.
The first thing
that made me think
you were
wonderfully different.
You looked at me
and said,
"You have a kind soul."
You should know
that you won my heart
with those words.
Not with I love you's
or
You're beautiful's,
but with those 5 words
that summed up
everything I ever wanted
to be.

the canopy of light
of shade
and
the memories
that have
been
made,
shall always
linger near my heart
but i will always
miss you.
