An intricate love puzzle consumes my days
Graduation and indecision have me in a haze
All of a sudden you come my way
A new puzzle piece sparks a surprise craze
Your force pulls me in with this role you play
Mesmerized by your magic, I can’t look away

But wait, somehow this is all a cruel trick
I can’t fast forward the way your clock ticks
The worst timing makes my heart sick
Even if our time aligned, I’d never be your pick
This puzzle becomes all the more chaotic

They say
Out of sight
Out of mind
I think I’ll give that a try
You go your way
I’ll go mine
I’ll forget you time

We never even touched
****, this will be fine

It’s been a few years and you’re still a constant thread
I keep pushing you down, I know it’s all in my head
Can’t help but wonder of your life, all the light that you shed
But ****, I’ve got to focus on the man that’s lying in my bed

Six suns later and you’re still there
I have to tell myself there’s no way you ever cared
Try to find a new way to spark the feelings you flared
About to walk the aisle completely unprepared

They say
Out of sight
Out of mind
I’ll keep giving this a try
You went your way
I went mine
Try to forget you in time

We never even ******
****, this will be fine

The wings of a white dove flash their sign
Intervention of the divine
Along comes a new moon and the stars align

You reach out to me, open the door
I spill my story, you share yours
After all these years we made each others hearts soar
Your flames ignite a fire in my core

But wait, this must be a trick of the light
I thought this life I’ve built was bound so tight
Now this new expectation is what feels so right
A choice without heartbreak nowhere in sight

Even if you were the choice that I made
Who’s to say these feelings wouldn’t fade?
I like to think our magic would always cascade
Would it be worth the price? Have I already paid?
This new expectation’s left the old betrayed
It’s my patters of behavior that I have to evade
I know I have to lift my thumb from this grenade

Who says
Out of sight
Out of mind
Have they ever given it a try?
Couldn’t shake you away with time
Why can’t your way be the same as mine?

I know
Out of sight
Out of mind
Wont work at all this time
You’ll go your way
I’ll go mine
Maybe this is how our paths will one day align
