Fragile

I don't know what to do
Because I know that I'm falling for you
Always speak my mind, and wanna tell the truth
But this isn't black and white
I always end up terrified
Tell myself a million times that the timing will never feel right
Wish I was someone else watching from the outside
So I could ask myself for help, and take my own advice
If we could read each other's minds, we wouldn't even have to try
Maybe I should ask what you're thinking when you're quiet
We have no clue where this will lead us and I know it's early
These new beginnings tend to be so fragile
Keeping me company
Up all night talking 'til we’re half asleep
You said that all the things that you’re telling me you’ve never said out loud
Now I don’t wanna be someone that you just see around
Nothing like what I’ve felt before
Not one red flag to ignore
They say when you know, you know and I’m feeling so sure
But I still second guess myself when you walk through the door
There’s nothing that we try to hide
And I keep hoping you don’t mind
we tend to be together all the time
I’ve been waiting so impatiently
But it’s still way too early
But these new beginnings tend to be so fragile
You’re so clear but I love to overthink
We’re walking a tightrope knowing any moment that it could easily break
There’s a hundred things that I’d still love to see
But I never wanna see you leave

Changing

One of these days I’ll be reminiscing on where I am right now sitting on this floor
And I’ll say it feels like yesterday but all of my yesterday’s will have happened years before
And it’s strange 'cause I feel like I know nothing at all but if I did it would be my downfall
But nothings fixed I write down everything I want with a marker that’s not permanent
I want to know what it’s like to see life with a fresh pair of eyes
I hit the ground running a few months ago
I started to believe all of the words they spoke
I think about it 'til I can’t think straight
Will I say all the things that I want to say
'Cause things keep changing every single day
Now I sit at my kitchen table
Remember who I was within the four corners of old photos
I don’t know what I’m looking for but I don’t want to look ahead anymore
'Cause it’s a waste of time to wish for time to fly by
I hit the ground running a few months ago
I started to believe all of the words they spoke
I think about it 'til I can’t think straight
Will I say all the things that I want to say
'Cause things keep changing every single day
When I come back, will I forget all of what’s left
all the memories I have
Cause I didn’t want to leave the past in my present
We fake it thinking we’ll make it but will we ever feel like we’ve made it there
I don’t know if I ever will
I hit the ground running a few months ago
I started to believe all of the words they spoke
I think about it 'til I can’t think straight
Will I say all the things that I want to say
'Cause things keep changing every single day

Killing Time

There’s nothing more I like than when we’re laughing with tears in our eyes
But when I’m crying it’s fine cause we feel that way all the time
Remember the time we threw a birthday party on a Sunday night
I looked at you and I told you that I don’t want the sun to rise
Is this the way it is? We’ve thought this way since were kids
Feeling like I’m just living for next year
Maybe down the road I’ll be ready to go
But I’m so scared that when we grow old this will all slip away
I hate to think that we’re just killing time
Not one lap around the sun, things will get harder when this is all done
The worst part of loving someone is knowing when to run
Is this the way it is? We’ve thought this way since were kids
Feeling like I’m just living for next year
Maybe down the road I’ll be ready to go
But I’m so scared that when we grow old this will all slip away
I hate to think that we’re just killing time
3 a.m. kitchen light
Won’t leave my mind
I’m seeing stars protect my heart from the thought of us apart
Is this the way it is? We’ve thought this way since were kids
Feeling like I’m just living for next year
Maybe down the road I’ll be ready to go
But I’m so scared that when we grow old this will all slip away
I hate to think that we’re just killing time

Ocean

Life moves fast, but time goes by slow
I didn’t know when to call you but I wanted to
Sitting here takes me back home
To the place we’ve stood together before the leaves fell
I’m bringing it up because the other day I saw our first photo and all the memories stayed
I didn’t know what it meant until I woke up today
These things come and go in waves
But I’m swimming in an ocean
Never sinking
You can’t stay but you don’t go away
I wouldn’t want you to anyways
There’s a fine line between a coincidence and a sign
But I read between the lines hoping the letters will spell out your name each time
I’m bringing it up because the other day I saw our first photo and all the memories stayed
I didn’t know what it meant until I woke up today
These things come and go in waves
But I’m swimming in an ocean
Never sinking
One day I’ll be so far away
I’ll be living in my someday
It’s like I’m in love with a blueprint that’ll never become anything
but it’s permanent for now and can’t be erased
I’m bringing it up because the other day I saw our first photo and all the memories stayed
I didn’t know what it meant until I woke up today
These things come and go in waves
But I’m swimming in an ocean
Never sinking

Risky

I think you’re nervous
But what if now’s the time for us to let go of the logic and pretend it’s fine for a while
I’ve been waiting at the edge of my seat for a change of heart
Because this way that I’ve been feelings been here from the start
And it stays wether or not I even welcome it
We get bad feelings before we have a valid reason
Cause the summer sun sets and every time we still get burned
we can’t take chances if we can’t make choices
And I know my minds made up so
Make me believe you’re it for me
Cause I can’t stop overthinking
And I’m trying so hard to wear my heart on my sleeve
Meet me in the middle of everything
cause nothing worth it comes easy
I’ll take the good and the bad and give 100% of me
Even if it’s risky
Maybe I’ve lost it and I read into it all
But it seems different this time, every time that you call
But I've held onto false hope for far too long
I just keep falling into similar habits
I keep falling for you and I just let it happen
It comes down to what we’re willing to lose before we even know what we’ll gain
Make me believe you’re it for me
Cause I can’t stop overthinking
And I’m trying so hard to wear my heart on my sleeve
Meet me in the middle of everything
Cause nothing worth it comes easy
I’ll take the good and the bad and give 100% of me
Even if it’s risky
Look at how far we’ve come, and what we have
But do you ever wonder? Do you ever think back to the night we let everything out, with no questions asked
All I’m hanging onto is a memory
And right now I know the only thing that you see is a dream that’ll never become reality
Make me believe you’re it for me
Cause I can’t stop overthinking
And I’m trying so hard to wear my heart on my sleeve
Meet me in the middle of everything
Cause nothing worth it comes easy
I’ll take the good and the bad and give 100% of me
Even if it’s risky
