this isnt what i wanted but for a moment youll remember me
a teardrop from my cheek hits the zipper of your jeans
you promise i wont regret it and turn out the light
you didnt see a thing
she was beautiful
i said
as you showed me the pictures
it was a storybook romance
nobody said it could be fiction
youre standing still as the whole world moves on around you
i watch it pass by waiting for something about you to tell me now
youll stay with me somehow
midnight on a swingset
you push me higher than the trees
youre laughing and your smile is like fireworks to me
my shoe hits the ground and you kneel down to put it back in its place
when suddenly your eyes dim and something haunted hits your face
you couldnt get away
she was beautiful you said
as you remembered the pictures
it was a storybook romance
nobody said it would be fiction
youre running now but the whole world goes the other direction
i watch it pass by as i chase after everything about you
dont go now
stay with me somehow
remember that feeling holding hands under that blanket
the first time you kissed me, your whiskers against my necklace
she was a million miles away from your mind
until you pulled back the covers and couldnt look me in the eye
crying in the passengers seat my breath fogs up the glass
i draw a flower with my finger
you cant help but laugh
the petals start to wither like the daisy in your pocket
that i gave you in the hallway when you stopped to say
im sorry
that was beautiful
you said
as i pulled up your zipper
this was a storybook romance
it never had to be fiction
youre standing still and i should run the other direction
the world passes by as i try to forget
that she was beautiful
dont go back now
come with me somehow.
