she captures me like polaroid
from out the void
i just sit silent awhile,
smile and listened to her voice
her words drown out the noise
so i happily avoid askin how she fancies other boys
still the stars they give out in the background
when she asks how i been feeling
and i reminisced
i said ‘i’ve been better than this
baby we’ve been better than this
do we forget or forgive
there no synonyms for this
relationship
my sentiment is with
whatever set us adrift
though our tenements shifted
please listen
i’ve been kissing the sky like it was your lips
and wishin on the last star falling
admitting the sins i’ve committed
askin the universe for your forgiveness
on my knees, begging please
that you would come back to me
it was written in the breeze
believe so
i did it no kidding and now i’ll never leave
i used to believe
that when two people fall in love
it was destined to be
i fell head over heels
you’ve been a blessing to me
you broke me down in to a thousand pieces
now i feel the peace in side,
trusted your presence with me
but i guess this how it feels
to let you go and keep it real
without you here close to me
i know you fear gettin emotionally attached
but if love is an ocean
i want to float in to the net you cast
swim past your border lines, yeah
finish what we started last time around the track
cuz there’s no turning back
life is circle, white to black
and fading back turn the page
blank slate can’t wait
stroke of the brush your touch,
i trust the moment makes us
let’s write the next chapter
make it right like we have to
she captures me like polaroid
from out the void
i just sit silent awhile,
smiled and listened to her voice
her words drown out the noise
so i happily avoid askin how she fancies other boys
still the stars they give out in the background
when she asks how i been feeling
and i reminisced
i said ‘i’ve been better than this
baby we’ve been better than this
do we forget or forgive
there no synonyms for this
relationship
my sentiment is with
whatever set us adrift
though our tenements shifted
please listen
i’ve been kissing the sky like it was your lips
and wishin on the last star falling
admitting the sins that i’ve committed
askin the universe for your forgiveness
on my knees, begging please
that you would come back to me
it was written in the breeze
believe
so
i did it no kidding
and now i’ll never leave
