brushed my hand while dancing
caught my eye while glancing
beautiful misunderstandings
dropped all my apprehension
lived to catch your attention
caught up in your perfection
i tried my best to hide my feelings
but any fool would know
your best friend told me i was clinging
but i didn’t dare to let you go
takeout in paper cartons
singing to dolly parton
initials in the margins
ignored my mother’s warnings
‘cause you were worth adoring
till i woke up each morning
your stardust smile under disco lights
your wide-eyed wonder at the city sights
till i stepped too close and tripped a wire
and sent us tumbling into fire
quick was the flying, hard was the fall
double or nothing, so i lost it all
i waited lifetimes for her answer
only to wish i'd never asked her
left my heart in your basement
you were my favorite bracelet
an heirloom with no replacement
your presence was enchanting
swift flight and swifter landing
beautiful misunderstandings
