Driving around in a fancy car
Leather jacket and shiny shades
Did they ever get you far?
Still, they brought you to me
Glares and mocking grins,
Keeping the distance but
Still, you pulled me in
Nothing much, just a simple thing
And then I uncovered your hidden depths
All you loved and all you have left
Finding myself but looking for you
Won’t you trust me, too?
You pulled me in, and I can’t win
Helpless, please
What can I do?
Breathless, please, I need this
You’ve hidden all you’ve left to give
Locked away and thrown the key
You think you’re broken, hopeless, but
Steady, there’s nothing to fix
Hidden away but still shining bright
I’m blinded by your light but
Still, I’m pulled in
Drowning, but so worth it
And then I find out you’re more
Witty jokes, warnings ignored
I found myself but I don’t know what to do
You’ve pulled me in but no one’s lost
You’ve hidden all you’ve left to give
Locked away but I know the key
You’re not broken, you know,
Steady, we’re okay
And maybe I’ll see you in my dreams, the two of us,
Blue and orange, so strange, a perfect pair
Maybe we’ll set sail, drifting out in the open –
Anchored by each other, never lost.
