I said I was afraid to cross the road
You held my hand so tight
You rapped your arm around me
And took my hand in yours
You looked me in the eye and said you’d never let anything bad happen
And you held me close
and we ran across the street
We didn’t stop running till we were in a back ally
And you kissed me
It may have been because we we're high
But I let you

You touched my hair
And called me beautiful
I told you I was afraid to get hurt
And you told me not to worry
So I closed my eyes and let you
Explore me again
You touched every insecurity and kissed it
Trying to make me see how beautiful I was to you

We went to catch up with your best friend
And my sister
And we sat sitting face to face
And you kissed me
And even though my mom came to get me
You whispered what you wanted
And I silently screamed I love you as I drove away

You had made me feel as if I had galaxies in my veins
Stars in my eyes
As if the wind was me
You made me feel like everything
with a tight grip of a hand
A soft touch on my hair
And now I can only Imagine that now that I’m not in your sight
I might be a stray thought in your mind
And maybe you’ll hold my hand and we can cross the road again
