White noise and then all the sudden two-way stare
In that bar after class
Did you know then and there?
I think you did and so did I
And there was never a need to ever lie
.
.
We lit a flame
And it burned to the sky
Maybe too bright, maybe too hot
But we didn’t leave it at that
It didn’t fade away
Nope, we kept it burning like a sacred heart
And I’m not sure what you meant
But, it’s tearing me apart
.
.
I told you that I would not be true
And you said the same thing too
But I didn’t care and neither did you
I know because we sang it- I’m just a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
I told you, honey, don’t worry,
This is just the ride on our little shooting star
No time to let it linger
.
.
I was wrong and I said goodbye
Or at least I tried
Because fate had its say
I missed my plane and with you I had another day
We had one pure night
Nothing anyone could say
What lingered between us had been distinguished
The flame burnt out
And sinn was washed away
But I still couldn’t to stay
.
.
And it had to be let go at that
No need to point a finger
Just know that I’m a fool for you
But it’s not like us to let it linger
