When he looks into my eyes
A smile spreads across his entire face

I'm dying to know

What runs through his mind
And fills all that space

Sometimes people like the idea of me
And in their minds they envision who we'll be
But what they imagine isn't reality
They don't know what's behind the face they see

Sometimes people like the idea of me
And they're wrong about my personality
But one day someone will like the actual me
More than who they dreamed me to be

Hair dark like the night
Skin as pale as the moon
Eyes deep like the ocean
Lips that make you swoon

Feet graceful like a doe
Voice soft as the breeze
She is all I'll ever know
She is all I'll never see

The floor of the forest was sprinkled with leaves
Nothing was about me but the tall bare trees
You could hear a crunch with every step I took
The lightning flashed, the clouds shook

The moon began to rise with the glimmer in your eye
The smile on your lips calmed the storm in the sky
The forest was illuminated and soon became bright
My heart jumped alive, my eyes regained sight

you loved me
told me you always would
but oh I couldn’t make you see
no you’re not the one

I ran away to sail the sea
didn’t once turn to look back
you had said you loved me
but of that same feeling I happen to lack

I looked up at the stars and over at the sea
no my dear, you’re not for me
I looked up at the sails covering the sun
no my dear, you’re not the one
I looked up at the clouds across the moon
No my dear, it was never you

You loved me
Told me you always would
But my feelings just can’t change
No you’re not the one

I ran away to sail the sea
didn’t once turn to look back
I left with the hopes of finding the one
the one that was never you

your eyes are brown
when I want blue
you may love me
but I’ll never love you

I exhale the smoke
And I pick up a yellow leaf from an oak
Oh I cherish the day that I woke
and found that it was fall

I sip the hot coffee in my cup
And I put on a nordic sweater in and attempt to warm up
Oh I cherish the day that I woke up
And found that it was fall

I hold your hand in my cold one
A chill goes through me that makes me want to run
Oh I cherish the day I saw the rising sun
And found that it was fall

Times in life are like the seasons
One ends and you must explore the next
You can't hold onto the past and forever reflect
Eventually you've got to make the call
Just say you're finally ready for the fall

I let go of my hopes
And I know that somehow I will cope
Oh I cherish the day I just let go
And found that it was fall
