My eyes blank stared into nowhere You casually fixed yours on me I have been crushing on you Still try keeping it low-key I’ve loved your pretty tan skin You casually complimented me We sat right next to each other I was breathing silently I’m not the most secured person You casually lean towards me We were suddenly a step closer, I’m more comfortable with me I’ve seen your world as an outsider While you laugh and cry and sing Now I get why you’re an actor So casually you’re radiating

Casually

My eyes blank stared into nowhere You casually fixed yours on me I have been crushing on you Still try keeping it low-key I’ve loved your pretty tan skin You casually complimented me We sat right next to each other I was breathing silently I’m not the most secured person You casually lean towards me We were suddenly a step closer, I’m more comfortable with me I’ve seen your world as an outsider While you laugh and cry and sing Now I get why you’re an actor So casually you’re radiating

You’re a twilight dreamer Thoughts of make belief Sound and wide awake Make belief is what you’re feeling

Maybe I've been the happiest I can be Maybe I've lost the one I can love most Maybe this doesn't bother me But isn't all this sad at all? How casually I can keep living How casually I can always hope Look to another day, keep waiting For even better, as though there's more. But maybe there won't be. The greatness found is really lost. Though there may be new adventures I've been to heaven, and was thrown out.

Been there, lost that. 20180531.

Maybe I've been the happiest I can be Maybe I've lost the one I can love most Maybe this doesn't bother me But isn't all this sad at all? How casually I can keep living How casually I can always hope Look to another day, keep waiting For even better, as though there's more. But maybe there won't be. The greatness found is really lost. Though there may be new adventures I've been to heaven, and was thrown out.
