Take my hand and lead me through The halls that we once walked However, I find it hard to approach you After what happened in our last talk
I'm there again, in that gym Like, once more, I'm in eight grade You're doing what you do best While I'm stuck standing there and afraid
The music is on, playing numb melodies I should probably start to move But how I can bring myself to dance When I'm hypnotized by you?
It felt like eight grade all over again But reality followed me into this dream Because I'm older than I used to be And someone else had followed me
He wasn't there in presence But he was floating over the dream He's the reason I feel guilty For what I see when I'm asleep
You notice me once and look away Because you are still hurt by me But little by little you look again Then keep a gaze steadily
Nervously, I walk over to you And ask if we could talk So you said, still unknowingly "Sure, I guess we could take a walk"
We walk across the dance floor To a bench in the corner of the place Where we talk about feelings and dreams As a familiar smile spread across your face
Little by little, fingers inched across separate oceans Our hands got closer still Until they intertwined within in each other And ignited the feelings we thought we killed
Eventually, we got up from that bench To roam throughout our old school With my head on your shoulder we walked around Remembering places that we knew
"Remember that time we had tech-ed there together?" I said in that hallways as I reminisced "I remember" you said "But, since then, it is really you that I have missed"
After that, we walked some more and sat together It was so tangible, it felt like it was true I could hear, see, touch, and think Once again, I could feel things for you
But that is the cruelty of my dreams Everything is so realistic It feels like life until I wake up suddenly Alone in my bed and nostalgic
