I wish that things didn’t have to be
So complicated between you and me
You love another so I stand there waiting at your door
You feed me scraps and I never ask for more
My head’s always overcomplicating
Every little flaw that I see is another reason you should stay away from me
And it’s sickening to know that I’ll have to live with always being on my own
But for now, you’re my ticket out of all the mess I have to deal with eventually
Not right now, not when you’re here with me

Loving you is like chasing the moon
What seems so close is still coming soon
Part of me knows this is pointless but my body’s moving on it’s own
And before I knew it, I’m relearning everything I’ve ever known

It’s such a simple thing to do, walk away from you
Just turn my head and make sure to avoid looking back
And yet I find myself stuck looking into your eyes
Hoping you’re also looking into mine and seeing what I’ve seen for months now
Deep down I know I’ll end up heartbroken
But you’re just too perfect, you could never break my heart the way others do
Probably the reason why I’m stuck with you

Swore not to fall too hard into something knowing I can’t get up
Call it what you will, call it what you must
Do I just like you or am I in love?
I can’t decide, but what I do know for sure
Is that I wouldn’t mind seeing you behind my door
We could laugh on my porch, freeze this moment in time
That’s when I can guarantee I’ll be feeling fine

Loving you is like chasing the moon
What seems so close will never come anytime soon
And I know this is pointless but all I can do is run
Hoping I’ll eventually catch up to a new someone
