how it happened

We danced like fools till 4 am
Then tackled the snowy roads
Singing out loud
I kept one hand on the wheel
You held the other to keep it warm
And you switched the gears for me

In perfect rhythm

At that moment, I took a sharp turn – I swerved
Behind me….a flirtatious friendship
I could separate from love and what ifs
But in front of me, the inevitable
Too late to turn the car around
Too late to shift my own gears
…to withdraw my hand
…to dance with someone else
…to turn my head from the kisses
…to walk away from this ride without any scars

We pull up to your place and
You invite me in

life in the movies

Goddamn Sunset-ending movies with their happily ever afters and I do's
Where is the remote?
Daydreaming of meeting Mr. One
Catching a glance across the room… eyes lock, a flicker of light
Put the glass down on the table and saunter across...
we start to dance
And we just "know"
Waiting for my Nick Drake song to fade in and signal the closing credits…

the battle of reality and romance

Under the covers, book in her hand
Sirens out the window; neighbors comprehend
It's too cold to go outside, stars overhead
Turn up the heat, say good night to love and go to bed

The night just a seedling, the band takes a rest
His brow sweaty, he slips outside and sees he missed her text
The air so warm and in the morn it will be as well
He gets back up. Just close your eyes, forget you ever fell.

Reality and romance
Do I have to pick just one
Structured desks and pay checks
Romance would be more fun

Reality vs. romance
Just a girl. Just a guy.
Book my tickets, let me fly
Romance wins, let me fly
