Wanna write a love story about someone who looks a bit more like me
All my colloquialisms and inside jokes
Wanna write a love story about someone who looks like my best friend
Falling in love with a girl they met 2 minutes ago
Because they are drunk
And the weight of the world sits a little too heavily on their shoulders
How they've never been charismatic
But in this moment they are willing to do anything to keep her talking
For just 2 minutes more
For the time to turn into 4
Just enough time for them to wonder if they could ever get enough of her voice
Just enough time to wonder if she likes her eggs scrambled or fried
Just enough time to wonder if this was the last time
That they had to scribble out their qualifications for the love they so deeply desired
On a napkin people would rather throw away
That baring their heart this time wouldn't end in crumpling
But instead a song would start
A song so deep it would stir the beatings of their heart so violently
They would no longer know the meaning of tenderness
Their chest would ripple at the excitement of this girl
And murmurings of her would egg on in the back of their mind
Their love would be all consuming
All encompassing
All confusing
And if it ever were to end
Whether by the excuse of a better off friend
Or tragic disappearance
They would never be the same for it
Forever changed
In some ways for the better
For all the right reasons worse
She would teach them to never accept less
And always hope for more
Even if in the end their heart was left sore
Wanna write a love story about someone like me
A naive kid who just wants to follow their dreams
Wherever that takes them
Wanna find myself in a bar at 2 am chatting it up with my friends when it hits me
It's been 2 minutes
