for a while

haven't posted anything in a long time, yo... alright, first song in like forever. enjoy.

a mistake never looked so good
skip the guilt, i lack regret
an exchange of words stop short of your lips
in an attempt to forget
i can't win this race against my thoughts
they take shortcuts, don't look back
and as time goes on they'll lose the lead
and i'll pick up the slack
before that day inside my house
i knew it'd never be
until you called me up one day
to spend some time with me
in disbelief until you arrived
everything turned to blur
months of anticipation equaled nothing
things went back to how they were
but only for a while.
this is a letter i'm writing to you
to tell you, you made a dream come true
but the possible happily ever after
we never got the chance to persue
what makes it so bad is that we're okay
and haven't spoken a word to this day
but i still think about that day
i never knew i could feel that way
but only for a while.
i shiver, i tremble
a closeness i never knew to exist
the warmth was broken
when we didn't even share a kiss
i couldn't look you in the eye
for fear none of it was real
but the sun shone brighter on my bed
i had the chance to have your appeal
but only for a little while.

feels like the world should explode
when we stand here, face to face again
quite honestly, don't know what to do
when i hear you speak my name again
they would never approve otherwise
if we brought this up again
but when you look at me that way
it just might happen once again..
i'll have you in my world again
but only for a while.
