i fell in love with a girl in london and i'd do it all over just to see her smile at me again

my heart nearly stopped every time i had to cross the street

so let’s thank the queen for writing it down

before she’s just another thing i have to step over

all the rest have tickled my feet so far

and everything under construction reminds me that these days

the only remedy seems to be better luck and more cloud cover

 

i’ve been racing to crash on the couch

just to wake up to see if i have time for it all

and i want the stereotype to be true so i have nothing to cry about  

with the way things are going

you’d tell me not to be so brutal to myself

but the thrill i used to know is now paying its dues to the concrete

 

i was almost convinced i wasn’t asleep

when she whispered paris

nothing, everything may have changed

so this is not like anything i’ve never meant:

 

my heart nearly stopped with the regret of not talking to you

it's hard killing birds when you don't have any stones and

besides this time i think i've really done it

two days and this is already my favorite story but

second chances don't have to be so mysterious

maybe i just wanted to see you smile again

 

i should have said it w/o one of and the s after the L

still choosing o over x

and your pull showed my hands a home in the back of your denim

two across the channel makes the significant not so, if you want it

i’ll keep looking for you so long as you

don’t stop drawing me maps

 

if i died in my indecision then

your mouth showed me heaven

you’re the closest thing to purpose

i’ve ever tasted

 

i wish you knew how much i mean that
