loser in love

You've been on my mind for years,
Replacing my thoughts, I can't think clear.
I remember the day you smelled the popcorn in the air,
The day you said you were so comfortable on the plush red chair.
We laughed together watching a cheesy 80s horror flick,
I gazed towards your beaming face, and I knew that this was it.
I had found someone who I could be silly with,
I had found someone who I could be me with.

I won your heart but I'm a loser in love,
I'll go too far, and call you the one.
I'll take you on the most extreme date,
Dom Perignon and plates made of diamanté.
I'll pull an extreme gimmick,
And I'll hope you fall for it.
I fail at most things in this life,
But, perhaps, if only for tonight,
I'll be a loser in love,
And you'll say that I'm enough.

So, we left the movie theatre with smiles from ear to ear,
We walked on the streets of Boston at midnight,
Racing through Chinatown, trying to escape that sketchy guy.
I couldn't remember the last time I felt seen,
I can't tell you how long it's been.
We made it all the way to the park,
It was so crowded even though it was after dark.
I took your hand by the city light lit lake,
And you whispered, "Thank you for this perfect date".

I won your heart and I'm a loser in love,
I go too far, and I call you the one.
I'll take you on the most extreme date,
Dom Perignon and plates made of diamanté.
I'll pull an extreme gimmick,
And I'll hope you fall for it.
I fail at most things in this life,
But, perhaps, if only for tonight,
I'll be a loser in love,
And you'll say that I'm enough.

We won't get everything right,
But I know we'll always have that summer night.
So, if either of us ever break this pact,
I'm glad we'll have a memory that will last.
Maybe our love will be a total mess but, damn it, I know it will be the absolute best.
And maybe we'll be put to the test,
But we'll prove we're better than the rest.
I am a loser in love and you think I am enough.
