i've waited so long

(for you, or for me)

i've tried to go slow

(and it's so hard, when the sight of you makes my heart rush)

i've been oh so good

at keeping control

(i don't want to scare you away)

but i only feel alive when i'm with you

(it feels like the stars.

it's exhilarating. it's terrifying)

and i think you feel this way too

(flashes. the way you look at me, sometimes.

your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes)

but you turn away. you always do

(and i almost wish i could regret it.

i can't, but i almost wish i could. because)

falling from heaven hurt less

than falling for you
