Dim lights still glow
I left them on
For you only to know

Shedding lambency on my faults
I study stars jump out of planes
You see meteors do the same thing

Two wrongs make a pattern
One must fail
The uptick corkscrew found on this trail

We reach for starlight
You kept me on
It's bright out here

Connecting flights with lost signal
You flew to the wishing well
Stars still fall from planes

We hate the word "forever"
Elongating anything more than enough is fatal
We love the word "moment"
Jumping in your life is you giving me a key for my own suspicion of freedom
Unwilling to move from that spot in your mind
I solve labyrinths whenever I choose to
I'm sure enough that you're enough while we stay puzzled  
I hate the word "label"
I care enough to see your strength
To dare not change the box we don't fit in
Measuring out expectations while you stop me in my tracks reassuring that your finish line is wherever I want it to be
You hate the word "doubt"
You share sentiments of courage with every stab in the dark
We have lived the grand scheme of everything
You'll always belong to yourself

if, while on the other side of the world,
you buy me a book
and post it to me
along with the words
'i read this and i thought of you
and i knew you had to read it too'
then what else is left for me to do
except
         to
           fall
               in
                 love
                       with
                              you.

If I had wings
I'd fly away from dramas
If I had fins
I'd swim away from them
That doesn't mean I'm weak
I won't have time to hate
Searching for admiration
I wouldn't have time to dig
My own grave
Humming sweet songs
Inside my head
Draining dirt from my mind
A free bird in the air

Sitting next to you on the couch
Her eyes fixated on the TV screen
I can’t help but watch you
out of the corner of my eyes
Watch the reactions you give
Every emotion that takes place
Upon your face
Every line that marks your skin,
every crease in your smile
Can’t help but see every beautiful
thing about you.

It’s alright, it’s alright
Just give me what you’ve got
Seeing you happy
That is all I really want
A heart still beats
Never fails to stop
It’s alright, It’s alright
Just give me what you got

Walks through the park
After dark, arms interlocked
Eyes connect, Small Talk
Heartfelt words,
fall from her lips
The sweetness taste within her kiss
Starlit skies, illuminated city lights
Nobody’s around except for you and I.

It’s alright, it’s alright
Just give me what you’ve got
Seeing you happy
that is all I really want
A heart still beats
Never fails to stop
It’s alright, It’s alright
Just give me what you got

There’s a brightness
That shines straight from her soul
And apart of me
She is always gonna be
Everything inside of my mind
Realises she is one of a kind
And I can think of a million reasons why
I’d want to spend the rest of my life
With you, nothing is ever beyond our reach
So long as I’m with you,
I’ve got every reason to smile

It’s alright, it’s alright
Just give me what you’ve got
Seeing you happy
that is all I really want
A heart still beats
Never fails to stop
It’s alright, It’s alright
Just give me what you got

Still trying to figure you out
Not sure where your head
Is at right now
You take me by surprise every day
Maybe that how I fall in love with you
In all these different ways
I've been looking around
For just one girl
One who can brighten up my world
I've been looking high
I've been looking low
Where she is
I thought I'd never know

I can hear a voice
calling my name
Far in the distance
Can't show resistance
Need to go with this
All these emotions
Are shaking my soul
But if I don't go
I'll never know

Tell me, girl, can you see
I can love you beautifully
Tell me are we meant to be
(Can you feel it)
This chemistry
(Can you feel it)
Beating in your heart
(I can feel it)
Building up inside
(Ignite these butterflies)
Got you on my mind
Tell me can you see
I can love you beautifully

Show me all the things
You are hiding inside
If you're ready
I'm ready
for our two worlds to collide
Gotta know I'm always on your side
Through any hard times
Got your hand in mine
Gotta see I'm here
for the rest of our lives
Gotta see I'll hold you
Because this feels right

I can hear a voice
calling my name
Far in the distance
Can't show resistance
Need to go with this
All these emotions
Are shaking my soul
But if I don't go
I'll never know

Tell me, girl, can you see
I can love you beautifully
Tell me are we meant to be
(Can you feel it)
This chemistry
(Can you feel it)
Beating in your heart
(I can feel it)
Building up inside
(Ignite these butterflies)
Got you on my mind
Tell me can you see
I can love you beautifully

Girl hold on
We gotta stay strong
Keep you on your feet
That's the way it's gonna be
Because I need someone
who can stand by me
I've seen your strength
And your passion
And that's something I just got to have
And you got the kind of lips
I just want to lay there and kiss
From sunset to sunrise
Dawn till dusk
I could just do it that much
Think you're my fire in the dark
Won't let this burnout
We can make it I have no doubt

I can hear a voice
calling my name
Far in the distance
Can't show resistance
Need to go with this
All these emotions
Are shaking my soul
But if I don't go
I'll never know

Tell me, girl, can you see
I can love you beautifully
Tell me are we meant to be
(Can you feel it)
This chemistry
(Can you feel it)
Beating in your heart
(I can feel it)
Building up inside
(Ignite these butterflies)
Got you on my mind
Tell me can you see
I can love you beautifully

my love for you is constant
like the rushing of the river
my love for you is electrical
it sends my spine the shivers
my love for you is emperical
like dipping your toes in the ocean
my love for you is kinectic
it sets my body in motion
