Lies about not using your math homework as rolling paper
Laying in the with the boy that knows you the best
Knowing that what you'd die for is why you live
Understand that broken hearts are cured by caramel apples and a best friend
Realizing this is all I need, right here, right now
Racing pulses as hands slide down backs
Crying because he can't look you in the eyes
Chance encounters at the mall
Tacos and coffee, frosty and fries
Oncoming cars, drive-bys, late night rituals and phone calls
Smiling because your hoodie still smells like him
"Make sure she brushes her teeth extra good tomorrow ^_^"
Wishful thinking, name calling down the hall
Childhood horrors, unlike the rest
Back then, bloody lip and blackened eyes
Now, bloody wrists and blackened heart
Always trying to set the moon on fire
Keeping in step, while dancing to your own beat
Held close, looking for answers, where he's been, what he's done
Walk away from your closest drunk
Talking squirrels, bird calls, flinging cans
Is this love? Of course it is
Keep swinging after you've been brought down
Don't stop, never stop fighting
Feeling safe in a stranger's eyes
Procrastination on telling him and missing your shot
Tumbling through sprinklers in a mini golf course
Gay pride leprechauns, air cannons, parking for crazy dog and ice cream
only
Rolling down ditches in your broken down high school
Greeks in the city, Halloween's not over, that kind of eyeliner
Never hurting so badly, never feeling better
Giving up a boy for your best friend
Watching him hurt her TWICE
Moonlit walks, more like panic-stricken sprints
Fire and Alcohol, Weed and Spit, Blood and Tears
Just a few of life's lessons
