lyrics

So I’ll turn my thoughts to a memory of a music class, in two frontward left-hand seats occupied by a couple of kids way back in 2003.. or 4, or maybe a memory of a football game and a whirlwind yet-to-be. And you know I was high but I could surely see you were quite pretty, and we could break the seams from underneath. Girl, is this love? Just wait and see. And I was lost in you, to some degree. And something clicked, though I was just 14. Now you’ve got me going, and I’m dead crazy… so if insanity is what I must plea, so be it.

So I’ll turn my thoughts to a past September when you woke me up so early - girl, do you remember how you denied me, and in return I smiled and said I might stay awhile? Oh another day would be too late to spite the clock. Oh we couldn’t wait. And thought I wouldn’t say the timing was great, you know we’d always overcompensate. No we could never delay our most eminent fate… nor could we ever stop this rain.

So I’ll turn my thoughts to the present day, with a twisted heart and a glance I can’t escape. From broken thoughts and a daily lunchtime date, and “I’ll love you always”… but we know that’s “too cliche”. And is perfect a term, an unattainable word of some girl who’s name I have yet to learn? No, it’s just another reason I have to live. You’re my best friend, my prerogative. No, perfect’s just another adjective that to your name is a synonym. But to say “I love” and to say “I forgive” won’t ever stop this rain, no.

And I’m not saying this has to last forever! No, I’m just saying that Time couldn’t steal these past few years together. So promise me maybe, Maybelline, that you won’t never change the way you are because I’ve never loved no one, no I ain’t never loved nobody more.
