I finally found myself when I got lost
In late nights with you
and sunsets and the smell of the bonfires
followed by early morning coffees
and bleary eyes
Lost in you and the air around us
when we're together
and sitting in wet grass
because we're laughing too hard to stand
and leaning on each other
because we're crying so hard that
only each other's support keeps us upright
Lost in last minute plans
and rushing to get ready for an event
that we know very little about
because simply why not
let's live while we can
Don't come looking for me
I'm happy staying lost
