It’s winter and we’re sitting on the bench And snow is falling and I’m cold But your hands are twice the size of mine And I think that maybe as long as they’re wrapped around me, I’ll be okay. We talk about her and you say that you lost your innocence there But you lost your heart here. You brush your thumb over my cheek to wipe away a stray eyelash You hold it out for me “Make a wish”
Its summer now and it could be the way your laugh sounds Or how you let me try to count every strand of hair on your head It could be the way you hold my hand and pull me down to the grass Just to kiss me. It could be those ripped jeans that you swear you’ll replace It could just be that this summer boy isn’t my winter boy. And I think you know that I don’t mind, and that I love the laughter in your eyes And the gold of your skin. You hold out a dandelion towards me “Make a wish”
It’s winter again and I’m laying in your bed And our legs are twisted together with the sheets Maybe my clothes are on your floor, but all I know is that they aren’t on me And that you just were. Maybe it hurts me that you aren’t the summer boy, Maybe that’s like a stab in my heart each time I think of it. So maybe you know that somewhere deep down, And you try to make it better and I try to let you. You hold me and you make me laugh and you say the right things sometimes But I guess sometimes isn’t enough. So you let me slip past you, My fingers ghosting over your bare torso and your breath a whisper in my ear. “Make a wish”
It’s summer again and it could be just because it’s my birthday But no one here is him, not the winter boys and not the summer boy. But you’re here and you’re different from them, So maybe I’ll let myself get carried away in your words again. And I’ll lay in a bed with you and I’ll let you play with my hair But darling, you aren’t him. And I love your words and the way you write me breathtaking things, But his smile was the only thing that could ever steal my heart, And keep it. I remember sometime that night, In the middle of the music and laughter Someone shoved a cupcake towards me, With a candle lit right in the middle And said “Happy birthday” “Make a wish”.
