He didn’t compliment me nearly as often

As you now do

And he didn’t understand me

The same way you seem to

You’re funnier than he ever was

And being with you,

I just feel more alive

Than I did before

And it’s cool to think we were all made

From the same dead stars


You might not have been the first

But I like the way your eyes change in the light

You probably won't be the last

But you will always mean something to me

Laying in my bed, your arms holding me steady


I wasn’t the biggest fan of touch when I was young

And I wouldn’t call myself clingy now

But with you I don’t think I could ever get enough

It’s crazy because I’m so damn scared

To fall in love

I can’t begin to explain all of my reasons

They just are


He never looked at me the same way

That you did today

He never even attempted to understand

Whatever I tried to say

You’re better than he ever was

And being with you,

I just feel more alive

Than I did before

And it’s nice to think we were all made

From the same dead stars


I could spend hours just listening to your heart

If you let me


I really wish we had that kind of time


If only
