lyrics

A thousand words in hazel eyes
that gaze into the depths of mine
from a fond face peering across the bed
caressing my soul and haunting my head

cute laugh, cute face, you said
cute mouth cute nose
as you stole away secrets which nobody knows
as you trace your thumbs down to my thumbs
and my hands and your hands are perfectly one

one, one two three
days I've missed your voice
I'd like to see you
but i don't have a choice
we were never stable
never meant to last
and now you're just a person
who floats around my past

I had to leave, but you were quick to move on
turns out you were about to change the song
I did this for me, now I've done you a favor
so you're free to go fuck your new infatuation

does she wear your blue button down as well as i did
after feeling its lightness laying over your skin
you'd think it was done when i'd said it was done
but you lit a fire now it looks like you've won

one, one two three
days I've missed your voice
I'd like to see you
but i don't have a choice
we were never stable
never meant to last
and now you're just a person
who floats around my past
