i wrote you a song /
it was, oh, so easy / you were my heart /
wrote you three, actually /
you never heard them / too soon, gone /
like a schoolboy / crushing so hard it hurts /
a glance sent me to the moon /
surviving on daydreams of forever /
a touch / your hand in mine /
it’s not hard to remember /
do you remember? /
you made a nervous boy sit still /
stared into my eyes /
i stared right back /
down the rabbit hole that night /
nothing left to feel /
tell me you don’t miss that /
don’t you know / i was lost, too /
before we found each other /
after lifetimes apart /
i held you close / feet touched together /
don’t you know / it destroyed me, too /
just can’t seem to recover /
since we broke / our hearts /
prophet boy / i will hold you again /
sit still / stare in your eyes /
these eyes, only for you / are mine /
just us /
alone for a night /
tell me you don’t want that /
prophet boy / i will hold you again /
sing you these songs / hold you from behind /
listen to stories of where you’ve been /
tell me stories of where you’ve been /
