lyrics

when you sat down next to me
i swear i felt the moon stop above me
and pull me toward the sky
from the moment we lock eyes
i could feel the gravity
pulling me in all directions
and i was breaking

we walked home in the morning dark
the damp streets shining beneath our hands
we floated smiles through the air
in the impenetrable heat
and when your eyes caught mine
in the dark outside my apartment building
my body cracked into a million irreparable pieces
and i was breaking for you

your brown eyes begged me to tell you
all the ways that i would fail you
when i think of you in my mind [sic]
i never want to lose you
i never want to die

if you ever look at me with hate in your eyes i might die
if you ever think of me with malice in your heart
how i would i begin to start to move on?
