EYES GAZING TOWARD THE NIGHT SKY...

arms scrambling for cover

preventing the chill from stinging our bodies

the stars are gonna reveal my lost composure

we tell everyone we're strictly platonic

hearts plotting with friendly fire

i swear i'll diminish the flame

once you leave tonight

but right now i'll let the emotions spark my heart

and thoughts of us never being apart

seem not that far off

i'll regret this

letting you lie in my bed

and listen to all these wild words

that scramble around in my head

tracing your fingers along my arm

in my mind friendship and love spar

cause in one hand i'd rather be friends

but the other hand's too busy holding yours

i'm trying to stay inside this pillow fort

inside of my mind

where only childish thoughts arise

i'm not ready to fall in love

but it's already gotten too deep

deeper than the words that we speak

or the smiles that we let leak

when i look into your eyes

i see all that i need

it's all moving at a rampant speed

but let me slow down

and breathe in your intimacy

and breathe out my gratitude

i've been so lost without you

...BUT WE TELL EVERYONE WE'RE STRICTLY PLATONIC.
