It must’ve been the smile that he wore
Or eyes that were alarming like a broken, open door
I fell into a quick and gentle swoon
Hearts were flying high above like helium balloons
Waiting for the answers on a limb
Fractured every single time we’re governed by a whim
It must’ve been the way he spoke his words
An unexpected light had shined upon what once was blurred
Draining all our tears, sweat, and blood
Invested in the hunger of wanting to be loved
Hazy from his sweet and velvet wine
The sense of who I was became more difficult to find
A vision lost within a static fray
Heady as I felt my conscious slowly slip away
Dreams of falling stars dissolve and dust the corners of our eyes X4
