“SWIM”

​

Caught in a fishing net
Down by the bay
I think that I forgot to swim

And you make me nervous
In every kind of way
Is wanting you such a sin

The cupid’s bow upon your lips
Your childish smile and angel kiss
The way your eyes move when you flirt
Who knew resisting could be so much work

And I hate you
'Cause you like me
And I can’t breathe
Without you taking it away

Running from my nemesis
Talking to my fate
Is this how it all will end

Your golden light, it kills me
Then it brings me back to life
But I can’t die again

The timeless way that you joke
Your canopy and aging oak
The way your feet root in the dirt
Who knew resisting could be so much work

And I hate you
'Cause you like me
And I can’t breathe
Without you taking it away

And I’m scared to commit
To give myself to you
And I hate giving in
But it’s not like I get to choose
Effects of you
Effects of you

And I hate you
Cause you like me
And I can’t breathe
Without you taking it away

And I hate you
'Cause you like me
And I can’t breathe
Without you taking it away

“EVERLASTING”

​

Is your hair still blonde or did it fade?

What’s your favorite song? Is it still the same?

There was this one you used to say it made you think about me

Has is it ever been on repeat?

Do you watch the moon on the car ride home?

I’m watching it too but you don’t know

Sometimes I’ll whisper to the sky I’ll send a note and I’ll pray

That we’ll intertwine someday

You’d read me the chapters of your story

I promise I’ll sit quietly and look into your eyes

Everlasting 

Oh that’s it

Everlasting

Oh that’s it

Is your sister home or is she away?

Are your friends around or did they not stay?

You said you’d laugh until you’d cry

Something I never knew

But now all I want is you 

To read me the chapters of your story

I promise I’ll sit quietly and look into your eyes

Everlasting 

Oh that’s it

Everlasting

Oh that’s it

Everlasting 

Oh that’s it

Everlasting

Oh that’s it

Your bad side your good side

Your demons in your night sky

Just wanna hear your melodies   

Please oh please would you sing them to me

 

Your bad side your good side

Your glory in the sunlight

Just wanna hear your melodies 

Please oh please would you sing them to me 

Everlasting 

Oh that’s it

Everlasting

Oh that’s it

Everlasting 

Oh that’s it

Everlasting

Oh that’s it

"FIRST GRADE"

​

Broken pencil tips 

Pictures on the very first day

A little part of me 

Wishes that you could’ve just stayed

 

The leaves all falling down

We tried to catch them in our hands

Make a wish for now

But please stay with me my friend

 

The first day of first grade

I’ve got my head on your shoulder

Dreaming of when we’re older

The first day no mistakes

I wish I could go back now to see you

 

The smile on your face

Dancing around the room

Pairing up in class 

Sitting right next to you

 

We wave our flags up high

Waving in the wind

Wishing we could fly 

So this could never end

 

The first day of first grade

I’ve got my head on your shoulder

Dreaming of when we’re older

The first day no mistakes

I wish I could go back now to see you

 

I hope you crack a smile 

When you hear this song

Almost been a decade 

Doesn’t feel that long

We’ve lost contact but I

I’m ok with that

We’ve both changed so much and 

I’m just thinking back

 

To the first day of first grade

I’ve got my head on your shoulder

Dreaming of when we’re older

The first day no mistakes

I wish I could go back now to see you

To see you

To see you

I wish I could go back now to see you
