lyrics

i’m starting to believe in love again
but i’m afraid to put your name to it
see, i’ve kept myself safe + pessimistic
but that’s not gonna get me anywhere i haven’t been

i met you, i wrote you off as shallow
but these waters we’ve been swimming in
are uncharted + filled with
feelings that i’ve waited my whole life to know
surprise every time you pull me in

+ i don’t wanna call it
+ i don’t wanna trust
but every conversation makes me want you more

+ i’m scared to believe
things i’ve always said i want to
but now there’s meaning behind crashing + slammed doors

//

i’ve always had a strong sense of instincts
but yours were so in sync with mine
i didn’t see you coming till you were
standing right there in front of me
like everything i’d forgotten i had hoped for

+ then you tell me about your mind
+ i am drawn in by our similar compulsions
to grow out of the mess that we have known
+ use the pain to make something else better

//

the days before i knew your name were thrilling
i was like a magnet to your eyes
+ for some reason i found comfort in them
+ now we’re looking at the rest of our lives

could you remind me what it was
you were thinking of the day that we first talked?
+ i’m still pinching myself every time your face lights up
it’s a feeling i could never get tired of
