We met in a lonely place
A look of curiosity reflected on my face
You took the seat next to mine
With a camera-ready smile
I rolled my eyes and downed my wine
You were wearing my husband’s cologne
With a cheesy joker’s grin
You knew I’d be all alone
And that I was desperate enough to sin
I woke up beside you in some hotel
What looked like heaven was hiding hell
But by then you knew me too well
How I’d rather die than go off by myself

You took me to places I’d never been before
We stayed up all night living scenes of  folklore
I warned you about the coming storm, you insisted we’d be fine
That was when you whispered, “I know you’re unhappy. So am I.”
Your face imprinted in my mind
Tapping my foot, anxiously waiting outside
I anticipate your signal under the moonlight’s glow
To this day I still know exactly when and where to go

We proceeded to meet in dark alleyways
I never noticed how close we were to your place
Even with my guilt I still could never get enough
Who knew someone with eyes so gentle could ever be so rough?
Our spouses turned a blind eye, we took it as a sign and carried on
Now the line is blurred between what is right and what is wrong
My friends can’t resist their sly remarks
They notice the spark reigniting in my eyes
You mended my broken and barren heart
But you’ll never be mine

For 6 long months we lived in the shiniest fables
Sneaking out almost every night, I have the path memorized
But it didn’t take long before our land became unstable
It all came crashing down, I was crushed by the weight of our lies
When the sirens rang you were nowhere to be found
You left my cold body to bleed on the ground
The look in your face is all I can remember now
You were unhappy and I was your way out
You held my broken frame
Somehow, there was always somebody else to blame
Now I’ll never be the same
No, we’ll never be the same

Now I sit at our table all alone
Trying desperately to erase the markings you made on me
The place we proudly called home
Has become the setting in tragedies
I stare at my reflection and remember your touch
What once brought me back to life now only hurts so much
Our bed became my tomb
Now I can’t escape the ghost of you

All I wish to do is forget now
But it’s hard to when you’re plastered all over town
The secrets and stories we both passed down
Someday you’ll leave my mind but I don’t know how
They say you’re still nowhere to be found

I’ve never experienced snow
I’ve always wanted to, though
I’d like to feel it falling all around me
while I’m wearing warm clothing
I don’t know much about it,
but I can always learn
I do know that for you it’s snowing now
or at least, that’s what I’ve heard
It used to be summer
when you first became mine
But it’s snowing now,
and we continue to be intertwined
It’s not snowing here
but I hope you feel me anyway
When you’re under the moonlight,
or you hear a joke you know I’d say
As the snow falls,
so do I
What a divine gift it is
to be able to call you mine

I wish that things didn’t have to be
So complicated between you and me
You love another so I stand there waiting at your door
You feed me scraps and I never ask for more
My head’s always overcomplicating
Every little flaw that I see is another reason you should stay away from me
And it’s sickening to know that I’ll have to live with always being on my own
But for now, you’re my ticket out of all the mess I have to deal with eventually
Not right now, not when you’re here with me

Loving you is like chasing the moon
What seems so close is still coming soon
Part of me knows this is pointless but my body’s moving on it’s own
And before I knew it, I’m relearning everything I’ve ever known

It’s such a simple thing to do, walk away from you
Just turn my head and make sure to avoid looking back
And yet I find myself stuck looking into your eyes
Hoping you’re also looking into mine and seeing what I’ve seen for months now
Deep down I know I’ll end up heartbroken
But you’re just too perfect, you could never break my heart the way others do
Probably the reason why I’m stuck with you

Swore not to fall too hard into something knowing I can’t get up
Call it what you will, call it what you must
Do I just like you or am I in love?
I can’t decide, but what I do know for sure
Is that I wouldn’t mind seeing you behind my door
We could laugh on my porch, freeze this moment in time
That’s when I can guarantee I’ll be feeling fine

Loving you is like chasing the moon
What seems so close will never come anytime soon
And I know this is pointless but all I can do is run
Hoping I’ll eventually catch up to a new someone

Unwanted feelings, I push them away
Most of the time they don’t even bother to stay
But everything changed when I met you that day
It felt like a dream but I was wide awake
And now my heart skips a beat when I hear your name

Oh, someone help me out of the dilemma I’m in
I want so desperately to end this before it begins
But when I catch your glimpses at me, I can feel my head spin
That’s when I realized that with love I just can’t win

The thought of you periodically plagues my mind
You enter so unapologetically and without an invite
If I told you it meant nothing, you’d know it was a lie
There’s a lot hidden in the fact that I can’t look you in the eye
Maybe I shouldn’t try to deny this time

If only I stayed at home
Now I anticipate your name on my phone
Would’ve done great on my own
Now my favorite scent’s your cologne
Feelings I once postponed have overthrown

i want to bottle up this happiness
keep it somewhere on my shelf
so that whenever i'm stressed
i'll always have it as a reminder to myself
that eternal sunshine is possible
no matter what storms the world brings
that even when my worries feel plausible
they'll eventually dissipate into nothing
i want to hold it, tight and close
when i'm feeling down, it'll be there when i need it most
