if I knew
another language
I would tell you everything
I hardly know this language,
but I feel you know what is meant
even if the words don't make sense
I want you to fall asleep,
dream of something that will stay
call you by your name and
love you more genuinely than I could
I hold you like no one else
(honestly) I can't remember
what anyone else felt like

(honestly) I can't remember
what anyone else felt like
for the girl down the street's birthday
