(no subject)
Don’t worry, it doesn’t last long
That moment of sheer panic where you’re convinced you’ve lost it all
I’ve been caught at the table with no card to play
But the joker of spades
And I understand that you’d never do what you did
But you did
And soon enough, you won’t even remember
The way I looked in that green dress you loved
And the message you wrote
In the fog on the windows
Of your parents’ car was backwards
I still knew what you meant
And when you told me that
The stars were all for us that night
I knew you meant you still loved me
But you had to go away for awhile (and so did I)
And you told me when you came back I would have another guy
You wanted me to tell you you were wrong,
You wanted me to tell you you were wrong,
But you were right
(And the stars weren’t for us that night)
But I’ll never forget the way your kiss seemed to linger
Like honey on my lips that night
And how the full moon made your dark eyes
Look so bright
Well maybe it’s true that the moon makes you crazy
But I was crazy long before that
Like that morning in the rain before I even knew your name
When I picked you up at that bus stop because your hair looked good wet
(Does it still look good wet?)
And I’ll always remember how you pulled that paper crane out of your pocket
You said, “Whenever you look at this, I want you to remember
The first time I told someone I loved them and really meant it”
But you had to go away for awhile (and so did I)
And you told me when you came back I would have another guy
You wanted me to tell you you were wrong,
You wanted me to tell you you were wrong,
But you were right
(And the stars weren’t for us that night
No, not for us
But I won’t forget the night they were)
(And how the full moon made your dark eyes look so bright)
