Accidental Beauty

I see you from across the room
and when we speak, no matter how bleak
I always feel the sun in June
in your bed I dream in rhyme
do you think that when we sleep our hearts beat in 3/4 time?
waltzing all night
I'm obsessed with accidental beauty
and I think you're absolutely beautiful
you've got me flying like a kite on a string
but I don't care cause you're everything I need
repetition, reading minds
I will soar forevermore
head in the clouds and seeing eye to eye
someone told me, "wary be"
man is the devil and love an eternal mystery
but I need to see

Imaginary You

I saw you at the bar
looking like my future
now we're getting in your car
I know that I'll just use you
for now we'll just believe that we were meant to be
do you think it might be true?
I whisper in your ear
I think that I might like you
but I think it's pretty clear that I don't even know you
boy, that whiskey tasted sweet
like the thought that we would meet
me and this imaginary you
and I've found that old clichés do not teach lessons
that love when first you look is often a lie
so let's make an artificial connection and say goodbye
and fall in lust for just tonight
I don't want to see you in the morning
I don't want to wreck this
please don't kiss me softly
please don't make me breakfast
I cannot assume that you are making room in your heart for me
and do not make believe we don't all have old lovers
I'm sure you're just like me, pretending I'm some other girl you used to know
I'd rather we just go
and we can play the ones that got away
I'll take what you can give
so let's enjoy this one dance
I've got one life to live
and I just want some romance
a stranger does just fine
let's pour another glass of wine
and fall in and fall in and fall

Fever Dream

how can you be old and new all at the same time
the shadows from these twinkling lights help the years unwind
we lived and died tonight in my eyes
and I feel fine
the world around your house is the ocean where I swim
your bed is the island where I can shed my fins
sometimes I get lost in the current
sometimes I get swept up in a wave
but time seems to happen all at once when I look at your face
darling, you're my fever dream
swimming in an ocean of sound
darling, you're my favorite thing
but earth keeps spinning around
one day we'll share the grey we find in our hair
the furrows in our brows
my head is swimming like the fish on the floor
I follow their feathered tails all the way to your door
your blankets are the mountains that I climb
it's you I find
colors curve around the contours of your face
and you are the anchor to my point in time and space
and I'm moved to tears as I find that I can fast forward and rewind
reaching out to you, asking if I'm losing my mind
